It adds USB ports and ethernet. Just what I needed.
I bought this to add Ethernet to my Pi Zero 2 W project and also to add some extra USB ports for adding additional wireless adapters and bluetooth adapters. This did the job perfectly. Fits well, easy to use, inexpensive but NOT cheap, and quick setup time. Not the biggest fan of needing the MicroUSB to MicroUSB adapter for it to actually be able to use the devices attached but I do like that I can also not use it when my devices just need power, like lighting or for powering device that already does its own thing.I've used this on my Raspberry Pi 4B as well and while it doesn't fit right on that, I can't complain on that front since it technically isn't meant for it to begin with, so I didn't expect it to line up right but I'd love to see an option for maybe an extension that can expand the size without expanding the board and without requiring me to run a cable from the 4B USB-A port to the MicroUSB port on this hat. Going to try to 3D Print one for myself but just thought it would be something to mention and nice to see. Great product, great design, and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Works perfectly.
I'm using this with the pi zero 2 w running openwrt for connecting a usb wifi adapter. The usb and Ethernet work perfectly although you may need to install a driver for Ethernet to function. Also this doesn't require the gpio pins to function.

Works fine, some parts don't fit
The thing works just like it should, but the standoffs that are included are not the correct length, and they are too small in diameter. I had to use some bigger ones I had lying around with the length sanded to 11mm. Other than that it's a nice unit

Works Great
This is just a combo USB hub with an Ethernet bridge - simple enough, but essential for a non-W Raspberry Pi Zero, as those otherwise have no network connectivity and only one free micro USB port. Easy, transparent, no issues with drivers or any other complications, and it's a great value. Sure, you should probably buy a Zero W, eliminating the need for Ethernet, but you'll still want those USBs. BTW, I'm using this just for development; the deployed project doesn't require USB or network access.

Ethernet/USB hub hat
This device allowed for an additional Ethernet port on a raspberryPi 3, connecting to the Pi 3 via the GPIO connector. Once powered up, the second Ethernet port could easily be detected, and worked without any problems to support the raspberryPi. There are additional USB ports on the hub if needed.

Awesome!!
Slick!! Plug and play working in 2 minutes. Ethernet and USB hub in a pass through header. You need this if you are playing with a Pi Zero.

Caused massive packet loss. Rpi Zero W & Zero 2 W
Setup: Raspberry pi Zero W running pihole and unbound.I purchased this hat in hopes of slightly improving network speeds to my pi over just using WiFi. I work from home and am on conference calls and meetings most of the day. For the week I had it installed, I had constant call drops and disconnected meetings. The only thing on my network that changed was adding this HAT. I removed the HAT and everything went back to normal. SUPER disappointed. Really wanted this to work and I am also past the return date.Update: I purchased a pi Zero 2 W and it doesn't work with that one either. Same results. Constant packet loss. In meetings calls and video drop constantly.

Good for Pi Zero 2
I made a Pi Zero 2 music streamer and being able to easily hook it up to ethernet is awesome. Also it makes it so you don't need any adapter to install a USB device such an a DAC.
