USB to NAS Ethernet Adapter

Agreeing with yardbird’s post and elaborating. I suspect vendors misuse names for the “benefit” of the general public …who don’t know any different. Pathetically, ethernet is misunderstood as cable/wiring. Monoprice sold me hdmi over ethernet… it’s not, actually just uses CAT5e.

A few posts back you mentioned RJ45. A removable network connection! How often do you see someone telling you they have a hard wired network? You know they don’t have a punch down block. It’s a shame there are even articles explaing hard wired networking with RJ45s. Any connection physical connection secured, is hard wired, a plug is NOT, but overlooked - and/or misunderstood because it’s not worth it.

Here’s a post explaining the aptly misunderstood difference between static IP and a DHCP lease reservation. Nightmare to an actual tech, annoying to the technically inclined, irrelevant to the one “who just wants it to work” (or the guy who thinks he knows what he’s talking about) …as dynamically static IP ??

Sadly is often appears marketing often appeals to the least common denominator.
