USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

This ESTONE adapter adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet port to any computer with a USB 3.0 Type-A socket. It is aimed at users whose built-in network port has failed, who need a second isolated network interface, or who want faster file transfers than Wi-Fi can provide. The device is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts.

Buyers needing a replacement or extra wired port

It suits laptop and desktop owners running Windows 2000 through Windows 8, Mac OS 10.6 or newer, and standard Linux distributions. It does not support Windows RT, Android, Wii, Wii U or Nintendo Switch consoles. Buyers who require a USB-C connection, Power-over-Ethernet, or multi-gigabit speeds should look at a different adapter.

USB 3.0 Type-A upstream interface

The adapter connects upstream through a USB 3.0 Type-A plug and downstream through an RJ45 jack compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3az. This single port type decides whether the unit fits the host machine; verify the computer has a free USB-A socket before purchase.

Questions about this item

What USB port does the ESTONE adapter need to fit?

It plugs into a USB 3.0 type A port and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 sockets.

What driver step is often missed when installing the ESTONE USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter on Windows 8 64-bit?

The adapter supports Windows 8 32/64-bit natively; the common mistake is forgetting to enable the new network interface in Device Manager after the driver loads.

When should the RJ45 connector on the ESTONE adapter be inspected or replaced?

Check the gold-plated RJ45 contacts if link lights fail or speeds drop to 10/100; replace the adapter if the port is physically damaged or corroded.
