I don't have a lot of experience with these USB adapters (amazon basics one
is the only one I ever tried). I think you are dropping packets because the
bandwidth test is trying to max things out (as it should). If your use case
does not need full 1 Gbe you might be fine. Our N310 (in 1 Gbe mode)
actually pushes out data at 1.25 Gbs. In general, Intel good, Realtek bad.
