I just had a lightning strike kill one of the LAN ports on my MB. So I Got an external adapter as a quick replacement. RMA-ing the MB, hell no.
The problem I'm having is if I connect the adapter to an actual USB 3.0 port the speed drops to around 200kbits/s. But if I connect it to an USB 2.0 port it can go up to the speed of my internet connection.
So I'm actually fine with it as long as I don't upgrade my subscription.
I'm just curious what could cause this? Incompatibility between the USB3 controller and the adaptor? I assumed USB is universally compatible
