Not much info visible.  Perhaps.  the unit has only a mini-usb socket, 
the adapter has ethernet port, usb socket and lead-with-mini-usb-plug. 
In my daughter's house wifi works well with 1080p and the router in the

I believe Peter has said that it will at present but cross-version 
operation is not always possible.

You might find the 'Advanced' search facility here helpful:
