USB Ethernet support

General

Hi, I’m interested in using a USB-to-ethernet adapter to place Pi between modem and AP router but is their certain ones that are better supported / will I need to find drivers like regular OpenWRT

Will this work - Amazon.com: TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter (UE306), Supports Nintendo Switch, Foldable USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter, Supports Windows, Linux, Apple MacBook OS 10.11 - 12(Driver Required) : Electronics

There’s a bunch of realtek and ASIX drivers pre-installed and have yet to test any which have not been compatible, in a rare case if you order one without a pre-installed driver it should be installable via Luci/OpenWrt but most are just plug-and-play with no drivers needing to be installed - the one linked looks fine

I’d recommend USB 3.0 as faster data transfer (the one linked looks to have that)

Great, thank you, will report back if any issues. Sure it will be fine though
