Compact USB-C Ethernet Adapter
The Acer America ODK440 adds a Gigabit RJ45 port to USB-C devices that lack built-in wired networking. It targets professionals, students, and travelers who need a stable connection for meetings, streaming, or large file transfers when Wi-Fi is unreliable.
Upgrade from Unreliable Wireless
This adapter replaces a fluctuating Wi-Fi link with a wired 1000Mbps connection using the RTL8153B chipset, falling back to 100Mbps or 10Mbps on older networks. The jump is worth it whenever a crowded spectrum or weak signal causes dropouts during video calls, online classes, or competitive gaming sessions.
Gigabit Headroom with Cat6 Cable
At full Gigabit throughput the adapter handles high-bandwidth downloads, 4K streaming, and low-latency gaming without saturating the link. It runs out of headroom only on multi-gigabit LANs or when a Cat5e cable limits the negotiated speed to 100Mbps.

Questions about this item
What USB-C or Thunderbolt port does the ODK440 plug into?
It connects to any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port on laptops, tablets or phones such as MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro/Air, iPhone 15/16 series or Dell XPS models.
Do I need to install any driver before using the adapter?
No driver or software is required on supported systems; plug the USB-C end into the device and connect an Ethernet cable to get online immediately.
Which Ethernet cable rating is needed to reach the full 1000Mbps speed?
Use a Cat6 or higher rated cable; the RTL8153B chipset negotiates 1000Mbps on Gigabit networks and falls back to 100/10Mbps on older wiring.
