Review: Sony A90K OLED Gigabit LAN (USB 3.0) - I bought this for my Sony 48 A90K OLED TV to upgrade from the 100mbps onboard ethernet port. I can confirm that this cable matters USB 3.O gigabit adapter works perfectly with the Sony A90K and does give gigabit speed if your broadband supports it. Just ensure that you disable wi-fi in the settings so that auto play works to enable the adapter. To take advantage of upto gigabit speed you need to connect the to the usb 3.0 port on the TV. For Sony a90k owners the usb 3.0 port is located on the bottom next to HDMI 2 and labelled for HDD. If you connect to a USB 2.0 port, the adapter will still work, but the maximum speed will drop from around 940mbps to around 400mbps due to usb 2.0 limitations. Being able to use more broadband speed on my TV has made 4k content noticeably more stable and so far I haven't had the resolution drop lower like it used to when using the in-built 100mbps port, and yes I'm aware that Netflix 4k barely goes over 20mbps so 100 should be easily enough. But I can confirm that in my case, that 4k streaming is more stable. Overall, if you're looking for a USB 3.0 to gigabit LAN adapter for a Sony A90K, this is the perfect choice. The price is great, the build quality is top notch, plus it just works :)
Review: Works on 2020 Sony KD-55A85 OLED - Purchased for my 2020 Sony KD-55A85 OLED and I can confirm this adapter works USB 3.0 port. Tested on my pc and it maxes out a gigabit internet connection, on the television I get about 700/700 presumably due to CPU in the tv not being strong enough to handle a gigabit connection but that's not the fault of the adapter.

## Features

- USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter: Add a reliable wired LAN connection to a computer with a USB-A 3.0 port. Supports 10/100/1000Mbps (1000BASE-T) for smoother streaming, gaming and downloads than many Wi-Fi connections.
- Plug & Play on Supported OS: Driver-free USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter on most Windows, macOS and ChromeOS systems with native support. Supports key features including Wake-on-LAN (WoL), Auto MDI-X, and full/half duplex for dependable networking.
- SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Performance: Built on USB 3.0 (up to 5Gbps) to help deliver full Gigabit Ethernet speed on compatible systems. Backwards compatible with 10/100Mbps networks. For best results, use a Cat 6 Ethernet cable (sold separately).
- Better than Unstable Wi-Fi: A strong wired alternative for Wi-Fi dead zones, large file transfers, video streaming, and software updates on home or office networks. The Ethernet to USB 3.0 adapter is also ideal for replacing a failed Ethernet port or upgrading an older laptop/PC.
- Computer-Only Compatibility (Important): Designed for Windows, macOS and ChromeOS laptops/desktops with built-in USB Ethernet driver support. Not for Smart TVs (Samsung/LG/Sony/Philips), streaming boxes, game consoles, Windows RT or Android devices, as these often lack the required USB LAN driver and may not recognise the adapter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, does not work on Hisense A7K TV
*by K***Y on 16 March 2024*

I bought this item in an attempt to increase the speed of connection into my smart TV. Unfortunately it did not work. I don't see any failure being attributed to the product or company at all it was a risk I was willing to take. It is most likely a TV USB issue or perhaps a driver one. However I have now used the product to connect my laptop to my router if I need a reliable fast connection. The product feels robust. It does not feel like it is ready to fall apart. Very simple to use and have seen the speed increase as it states with listing. I have a 900mb/s connection and with USB 3.0, running a speedtest I obtained 938 mb/s I would recommend this product for laptops and for games consoles. For the price, it is worth trying if you want to try on smart TV but like me be prepared for it not to work.
