I am finding that I cannot get ret reliable connections using USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter utilizing the Realtek Chipset; I've tried two so far. I cannot not get the Windows 10 Guest to recognize these adapters when I plugged them into the guest directly. And when I configured them as bridged connections from the HOST the connection is not reliable and I lose a lot of packets. I've also had the same exact problem with a Windows 7 Guest. I will note that this problem did NOT exist in some earlier versions of Workstation 12.x
I do not have problems of packet loss in the Windows 10 Host with these adapters
The Adapters with the Realtek Chipset that I've tried are:
Anker USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Aluminum AdapterModel: A7611 - A7611 01 -
SIIG Gigabit LAN Adapter JU-NE0611-S2
I purchased a USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter based on the ASIX chipset - intentional purchase -, and I've had NO problems so far, either as bridged OR installing into the Guest Operating System. As an FYI the adapter I used:
Plugable USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter Model: USB3-E1000
I realize this is user to user but... VMware please fix this problem!
