USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

This USB 3.0 to RJ45 dongle adds a wired Gigabit network port to devices that lack one, such as ultra-thin laptops or the Nintendo Switch. It uses the AX88179 chip and supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds for file transfer, video calls, gaming and HD streaming. Plug-and-play on Windows 10 or above; other systems need a driver.

Upgrade from Wi-Fi or slower ports

The adapter replaces an unreliable wireless link or a missing Ethernet jack with a stable 1 Gbps wired connection. The jump is worth it when low latency and consistent throughput matter more than mobility, such as competitive gaming or large file moves. It is not for users who need multi-gigabit speeds beyond 1000 Mbps or who require Power over Ethernet.

USB 3.0 interface limits

The USB 3.0 host port caps real-world throughput below the theoretical 1 Gbps line rate, so sustained transfers may sit under the headline figure. The dongle negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps automatically and supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3az flow control. It cannot exceed the bandwidth of the USB 3.0 bus it plugs into.
