FAQs

What operating systems are compatible with this adapter?

The Lindy USB 3.2 Type C Gigabit Ethernet Converter is generally compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Driver installation is typically automatic.

Does this adapter require a power adapter?

No, this adapter is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the USB Type-C port of your computer. No external power adapter is required.

What is the maximum speed supported by this adapter?

This adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds (up to 1 Gbps) and USB 3.2 Gen 1 SuperSpeed data transfer rates (up to 5 Gbps).

Can I use this adapter with a USB 2.0 Type-C port?

While it may physically connect, performance will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps) and will not achieve Gigabit Ethernet speeds. For best performance, use a USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 port.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Lindy USB 3.2 Type C Gigabit Ethernet Converter comes with a 2-year warranty.

Is the cable length specified in the product information included in the main adapter unit?

The product specifications list a cable length of 0.135 m. This typically refers to the integrated or short connecting cable attached to the adapter itself.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure the USB Type-C connector is fully seated in the port. Check that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the adapter and the network source. Verify that the correct drivers are installed (though typically automatic). Try a different USB-C port or a different Ethernet cable.

Slow network speeds

Confirm that the network you are connecting to supports Gigabit speeds. Ensure the Ethernet cable used is Cat 5e or higher. Check for any background applications consuming bandwidth. Restart your computer and network equipment.

Adapter not recognized by computer

Try plugging the adapter into a different USB-C port. If available, test on another computer to rule out a host device issue. Ensure your operating system is up to date, as driver support can be included in OS updates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-C connector into an available USB-C port on your computer. Connect an Ethernet cable from the converter's RJ45 port to your network router or switch.
