  • TypeEthernet Adapter
  • Add wired gigabit networking to laptops lacking an Ethernet port
  • Turn one USB 3.0 port into three extra USB 3.0 connections plus RJ45
  • Works immediately with no driver installation required
  • Compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.13 and Linux kernel 2.6 or 3.x
  • All four ports operate at the same time for simultaneous network and peripheral use

USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter & Hub

This 4-in-1 device adds a 1000Mbps RJ45 port and three USB 3.0 ports to a single USB 3.0 connection. It targets laptop users whose machines lack a built-in Ethernet socket but need a reliable wired link. The AX88179A chipset enables driver-free operation on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. All four ports function at the same time.

5Gbps Hub Throughput and 1000Mbps Network Ceiling

The three USB 3.0 ports share a 5Gbps upstream bandwidth, so multiple high-speed drives will contend for that headroom. The Gigabit Ethernet port tops out at 1000Mbps, which is sufficient for typical LAN file transfers and streaming. Sustained simultaneous loads on all ports will reduce individual device speeds.

Replaces a Missing Ethernet Port and a Separate Hub

It upgrades a USB-only laptop by restoring wired networking and expanding peripheral connectivity in one dongle. The jump is worth it when you regularly dock at a desk with a monitor, keyboard, mouse and wired internet. It does not suit buyers who need multi-gigabit Ethernet or more than three extra USB ports.

Questions about this item

Will the 1000Mbps RJ45 port work properly on my older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

The adapter requires a USB 3.0 port for full gigabit performance. On USB 2.0 the Ethernet link will be limited to the host port's maximum throughput.

How can I confirm the AX88179A chip is delivering 10/100/1000Mbps speeds after I plug it in?

Open your OS network settings and verify the link speed shows 1Gbps. Run a local file transfer or speed test to see sustained throughput near the rated gigabit ceiling.

Does the package include a USB 3.0 cable to connect the hub to my computer, or must I buy one separately?

The hub has a fixed USB 3.0 upstream cable attached. No extra cable is needed; the three downstream USB 3.0 ports and the RJ45 jack are ready to use immediately.
