FWIW - I have had a GREAT experience with the IOGear GUC3C01 on Windows 10. Every other USB NIC I have ever used I have given away or thrown in the garbage after no more than a day's worth of use (many "Gigabit" adapters will not do over 330 Mbps and / or have TERRIBLE reliability issues in my experience). This thing pulls 970+ Mbps, support VLANs, Jumbo Frames, etc. and has never failed me or let me down once to date (Realtek Chipset). It does use the newer USB-C (aka 3.1) reversible style connector, so you *may* need an adapter which is the only possible downside I can think of. Just my $ .02, HTH.

If you're going to do network testing, then an NETool is recommended. That's a complete Linux network testing system in what looks like a larger-than-usual dongle.

I like the Pockethernet for a portable diagnostic tool (haven't tried the Netool).
