USB 10/100 Ethernet Adapter

This GCROWN adapter adds a wired RJ45 port to any device with a USB-A socket. It delivers up to 100 Mbps throughput for stable networking. The compact black dongle is driver-free on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, macOS and Chrome OS. Linux and Windows 7 or Vista require a manual driver install.

Best for consoles and legacy USB-A devices

Ideal for Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, Wii or Wii U owners who need lower latency than Wi-Fi. It also suits laptops, desktops or TV boxes lacking a built-in Ethernet port. Buyers whose hardware only offers USB-C or who require gigabit speeds should look at a different adapter.

100 Mbps maximum throughput

The single spec that decides fit is the 100 Mbps ceiling. If your internet plan or local network runs faster than 100 Mbps, this adapter will bottleneck the connection. For slower links it provides full wire-speed stability without configuration on most modern operating systems.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed can I expect from the 100 Mbps rating on this adapter?

The adapter supports up to 100 Mbps data transfer, which is the practical limit of its 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port; actual throughput depends on your internet plan and network conditions.

Does the USB-A connection limit the 100 Mbps speed in any way?

No, the USB-A interface provides enough bandwidth for the adapter's 100 Mbps Ethernet port to run at its full rated speed without bottlenecking.

What physical space does the adapter need alongside a laptop's USB-A port?

It plugs directly into a USB-A port with a short cable and compact RJ45 connector, requiring only the port itself and minimal clearance for the network cable.
