FAQs

Do I need to install drivers for this adapter?

No, this adapter supports auto driver installation, meaning it should be plug-and-play with most compatible operating systems without requiring manual driver downloads.

Can I use this adapter with any USB-C device?

It is compatible with most devices that have a USB-C port and support network adapters, including Macbooks, Google Chromebook Pixels, and other USB-C supported laptops and tablets.

What is the maximum speed I can expect?

The adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet, which offers speeds of up to 1000Mbps. Actual speeds may vary based on your network environment and internet service.

Can I charge my laptop and use the Ethernet connection at the same time?

Yes, the adapter features a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port that allows you to charge your host computer while simultaneously using the Gigabit Ethernet connection.

What does 'PD 2.0' mean for charging?

PD 2.0 refers to the Power Delivery standard. While this adapter supports it, the actual charging current might be lower (e.g., 500mAh or less) if your charger or device uses a different charging protocol than PD 2.0.

Will this adapter work if my computer only has Thunderbolt 3 ports?

Yes, Thunderbolt 3 ports are physically USB-C and generally compatible with USB-C devices like this adapter, provided the operating system supports it.

Is this adapter compatible with Windows 11?

Yes, this adapter is designed for broad compatibility and should work with Windows 11 as it supports auto driver installation for USB-C network devices.

Troubleshooting

Adapter not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB-C connector is fully plugged in. Try a different USB-C port on your computer. Verify your computer's USB-C port supports network adapters and Power Delivery if charging is also attempted.

No internet connection after setup

Check that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the adapter and your router/switch. Confirm your router and network are functioning correctly. Restart your computer and the network equipment.

Slow network speeds

Ensure you are connected to a Gigabit Ethernet port on your router/switch. Verify your internet plan supports the expected speeds. Test with a different Ethernet cable to rule out cable issues.

Host device not charging

Confirm the USB-C PD port on the adapter is connected to a power source using a compatible USB-C charger. Ensure your charger and device support PD 2.0. Note that charging current may vary.
