What is the best, wired USB network adapter?
I have a Dell XPS, toucchscreen 13" notepad that is almost as thin as a Macbook Air, but it has no network adapter.
I found a Monoprice Ethernet adapter, but it really stinks... Frequently disconnects copying large files, and I cannot even reliably TFTP a damned Cisco Tarball to an old switch for an OS upgrade when plugged into the switch directly.
Preferably, the adapter would work with Windows 8.1/10, Mac, and Linux without the need for supplemental drivers, be reliable, and Gigabit.
Thanks
