FAQs

Do I need to install drivers manually?

For most modern operating systems (Windows 7+, macOS, Linux), the adapter is plug-and-play and drivers install automatically. If automatic installation fails, check the manufacturer's website for driver downloads.

Can this adapter be used with a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, but its speed will be limited to the maximum speed of USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), not the full Gigabit speed.

What is the maximum speed this adapter supports?

The adapter supports up to 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) when connected to a USB 3.0 or higher port and a compatible network.

How long is the cable?

The integrated cable has a length of 15cm.

Can I use this with my MacBook?

Yes, this adapter is compatible with MacBooks running macOS, provided they have a USB-A or USB-C port.

Does this adapter work with Android devices?

Compatibility with Android devices depends on the specific device and its support for USB Ethernet adapters via OTG (On-The-Go). It is not guaranteed for all Android devices.

Is this adapter powered by the USB port?

Yes, the adapter is powered directly from the USB port it is connected to, so no external power adapter is required.

Troubleshooting

Adapter not recognized by the computer

Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into a USB 3.0 or higher port. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer. Verify driver installation if prompted.

No internet connection after installation

Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected at both ends (adapter and router/switch). Ensure the network cable is functional. Verify that the adapter is enabled in your system's network settings.

Slow network speeds

Confirm you are using a USB 3.0 or higher port. Ensure the Ethernet cable is Cat5e or higher. Check that your router/switch ports are Gigabit capable. Test speed with a known good network connection.

Wake on LAN not working

Verify that Wake on LAN is enabled in your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings and in the adapter's driver properties within the Device Manager. Ensure the adapter is connected to a powered USB port.
