  • Gigabit wired speeds up to 1Gbps for stable gaming and work
  • USB 3.0 interface with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards
  • Driver-free setup on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 for instant connectivity
  • Supports Wake-on-LAN and IEEE 802.3x flow control for reliable network management
  • Works with Mac OS 10.5 through 10.12 and Linux for broad device support

USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for Desktops

This Manw adapter adds a wired RJ45 network port to any computer with a free USB 3.0 socket. It delivers gigabit speeds for gaming, streaming or office work where wireless is unreliable. The device is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at reduced throughput. It suits users whose built-in Ethernet port has failed or whose laptop lacks one entirely.

Check OS version and driver needs before ordering

Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 support plug-and-play operation without extra software. Windows 7, XP, Vista, Mac OS and Linux require a driver install. Mac OS versions 10.5 through 10.10 and 10.12 are listed; Mac iOS 9.1 or higher is also supported. Windows RT and Android are not compatible. Verify your system appears on the supported list.

Compact dongle with standard RJ45 jack

The adapter plugs directly into a USB-A port and accepts a regular Ethernet cable with a locking tab. No external power brick is needed. Flow control under IEEE 802.3x and Wake-on-LAN are supported for managed networks. The short cable stub keeps the RJ45 connector close to the chassis, reducing strain on the USB port during daily connect and disconnect cycles.

Questions about this item

What comes inside the Manw USB 3.0 to RJ45 adapter package and do I need to buy any cable or driver disc separately?

The package contains only the USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet adapter itself. A standard Ethernet cable with RJ45 plugs is required to reach your router or switch and is sold separately. No driver disc is included; Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 install drivers automatically while Windows 7, XP, Vista, Mac OS and Linux need a manual download.

Which version of the adapter should I choose if my laptop only has USB 2.0 ports but I still want gigabit wired speeds?

There is only one hardware version of this Manw adapter. It uses a USB 3.0 connector that is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, so it will work on older laptops. The link negotiates up to 1 Gbps, though actual throughput on a USB 2.0 port will be limited by that bus.

What does the 1 Gbps headline speed mean when I plug the adapter into a real computer running Windows 10 or macOS 10.12?

The 1 Gbps figure is the maximum Ethernet link rate the adapter can negotiate with a gigabit switch or router. On Windows 10 the driver loads automatically; on macOS 10.12 a driver install is required. Real-world throughput will be lower due to USB bus overhead, CPU load and cable quality.
