In Windows, file transfers alone consistently exceeded 100MB/s for large files and the latency is also very low. I can't say that I've ever heard of 'ASIX' as a chipset manufacturer but I've been really impressed with the performance of this one so far. So far I've been delighted with this Amazon Basics USB 3 to Ethernet adapter. The Ethernet port also has the usual orange and green LEDs for link state and connection speed. The adapter has a short moulded USB 3 Type A plug and lead that connects into a small metal cased box that houses the Ethernet port. For Windows 10 I didn't actually need the CD and Windows detected and installed the USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter as an 'ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'.

The adapter arrived well packaged in a cardboard box and also came with a driver CD. For day-to-day use I don't actually need an Ethernet port because the wireless performance on the laptop is excellent but the recovery disk for my backup software, Acronis True Image, doesn't seem to support Wireless and in the event of needing to recover from backup I would need an Ethernet adapter. I recently purchased a new Razer Blade 15 Advanced laptop which unfortunately doesn't actually come with a built-in Ethernet port. Reconnect the cable to the other part, restart the server on the PI and try again. Make sure you use the right IP address for the interface you are using (eth0 for Ethernet, eth1 for USB) On Windows, open a console window and cd to the directory where you unzipped iperf3 and type: eth0 is the Ethernet port, eth1 is the USB port - these have different IP addresses

You will see two Ethernet addresses: eth0 and eth1. On the Windows client side you need to know the server's IP address. Iperf3 uses a client server mode and I used the PI as the server.

To install iperf3 on the Pi type: sudo apt-get install iperf3įor windows search for iperf3 (I can't include the url). In fact, if I tried to do the test by having both connected to my broadband router I got a connection denied because of the firewall on the router. I connected them directly using a Cat 5e Ethernet cable. I tested the speed between the Pi and my windows laptop using iperf3. If you're interested in how I checked the speed here are some details. I then checked the network speed at got 215 Mbps through the USB compared to 95 Mbps through the Ethernet port.

I plugged it into the Pi and it worked straight away with no need for configuration. There were a few choices but I plumped for this one based on other reviews and I'm glad I did. I had read that the Ethernet port on the Raspberry Pi Model 3B was slower that the Model 2 and that a USB adaptor would be quicker.
