Portable Wired Network Adapter

This USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter adds a wired LAN connection to any computer with a USB 3.0 port. The compact dongle measures 12.01 inches and draws power directly from the USB bus. It delivers up to 1000 Mbps network throughput with full backwards compatibility to 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet standards. No external power supply is required for operation.

Ideal for Laptops and Dead Zones

The adapter suits users who need a reliable wired link in Wi-Fi dead zones or who want faster, more secure transfers than wireless offers. It also works as a replacement for a failed internal network card or to upgrade bandwidth on an older machine. Buyers whose devices lack a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port, or who require multi-gigabit speeds beyond 1000 Mbps, should consider a different solution.

Plug-and-Play Build Integration

A USB 3.0 male connector plugs into the host while an RJ-45 female jack accepts a Cat 6 cable for best performance. Native driver support in Windows, Mac OS 10.6+ and Linux means the network interface appears immediately on most systems. The ASIX AX88179 chipset handles auto-negotiation, crossover detection and Wake-on-LAN without extra configuration.

Questions about this item

What USB port must my computer have for this UB3-LAN-C adapter to work at full 1000 Mbps speed?

Your computer needs a USB 3.0 port for the adapter to reach 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet performance. The adapter is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports, but speed will be limited by the older port.

Will this Microsoft adapter work if I plug it into an older USB 2.0 port on my laptop?

Yes, the UB3-LAN-C is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. It will function on a USB 2.0 port, but the Ethernet link will be limited to the slower USB 2.0 transfer rate instead of the full 1000 Mbps Gigabit speed.

How can I confirm the adapter is running at Gigabit speed after I plug it in?

Check the network connection status in your operating system. It should report a link speed of 1000 Mbps. The adapter also supports auto-negotiation and crossover detection, so it will configure itself for the best available speed on the connected network.
