El Capitan Users need a driver to make the product work.
Amazon didn't make it easy, but I got it done.I have a 2015 Mac Air running El Capitan (10.11.2) and assumed the device would be plug-and-play as many others noted. This was not the case. Being an Air, there is no disk drive, so I couldn't use the CD from Amazon and there was nothing on Amazon's website. Even customer support was unsure of what to do.After some research, I found out that this software version of Mac OS does not come with support for USB to Ethernet connection from Apple anymore. A thread on the Apple Support Community noted that even Apple USB to Ethernet cords do not work, so this was not purely Amazon's fault. It's obvious Apple wants users to buy their Lightning (Mini Display) to Ethernet plug for $29, as it's the only ethernet connection driver initially installed. Capitalism or innovation, I'm not sure.To fix this and make the USB to Ethernet plug work, download the driver from the website below. It will ask you to restart your computer after installing and now "USB Ethernet" will show up under Network Preferences.http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=86

Reviewed in Mexico on December 2, 2016
Hola, funciona súper bien solo fue cosa de conectar al puerto de USB y listo fue plug and play. Es muy pequeño pensé que era más grande ya que así se ve en las fotos pero realmente es delgado y pequeño. De verdad lo recomiendo, tengo una laptop que no viene con puerto ethernet lo cual está bien ya que casi nunca lo uso pero aún así decidí comprar este producto por cualquier cosa esta a buen precio ojo la velocidad es 10/100mb mi internet es de 50mb así que sin problemas funciona bien si tienen internet de más de 100mb solo reconocerá los 100mb como tope.
