What's the difference between a 2.0 and 3.0 one do you know?

Hi, @missy46996 

 

A USB 2 adapter will not achieve gigabit ethernet speeds, nor will a USB 3 ethernet adapter if you plug it into a USB 2 port.

 

Your notebook has a USB 3 port, so if you want close to gigabit ethernet speeds, buy a USB 3  10/100/1000 to RJ-45 ethernet adapter.

 

Did your notebook's onboard gigabit ethernet adapter fail or something?

 

According to the product specs it comes with built in gigabit ethernet.

Interesting...

 

I guess the HP specs are wrong.  It happens from time to time.
