Just you regular PoE activities, nothing to see here.

I use that for my 3d printer. My wifi was all fine and dandy until I got an enclosure for my printer and the metal foil seriously impacted my signal strength. Used these to get Ethernet across my house, works great in a pinch!

Until you try to use it. They have limited bandwidth and totally shit the bed if you have noisy, high power devices running on the same panel (anything with a motor).

Yeah, but don’t those usually have an Ethernet port on them? If this is a PoE adaptor, it’s the stupidest one I’ve ever seen because it requires a USB to Ethernet adapter.

Its a usb dongle for laptops that are missing an ethernet port.

Sorry, that was sarcasm, it's just a USB to RJ45 adapter (a lan card), like Thief said.
