USB-C 5Gbps Ethernet adapter for wired networks

The Wavlink WL-NWU341G adds a single RJ45 port to any USB-C device, delivering up to 5 Gbps wired throughput. It suits laptops, tablets and desktops that lack a built-in Ethernet socket or need faster speeds than Wi-Fi provides. Driver-free operation on Windows 10/11, macOS 10.13.6 to 11.x, iPadOS and Linux kernel 5.x makes it a simple plug-and-play solution for stable connectivity.

Quick Start Guide and Driver Link Card included

The box supplies a printed Quick Start Guide for immediate setup and a Driver Link Card pointing to updated drivers for older operating systems such as Windows 7, Vista, XP, macOS 10.6 and Linux kernel 3.2. These accessories ensure the adapter works across a wide OS range without requiring a separate download search.

5 Gbps maximum transfer rate demands USB 3.2 Gen2

Achieving the advertised 5000 Mbps speed requires a host port that supports USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) or Thunderbolt 3/4/5, plus a CAT6 or higher cable and a 5 Gbps-capable router or switch. Ports limited to USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 will fall back to 2.5 Gbps or Gigabit speeds, so verify your device’s port specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ45 port or the USB-C connector need replacing after heavy use?

The adapter has no moving parts or replaceable modules; the RJ45 port and USB-C connector are fixed on the board and rated for normal insertion cycles.

What limits sustained 5 Gbps throughput first — the USB-C link or the Ethernet PHY?

The USB-C interface complies with USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10 Gbps, so the 5 Gbps Ethernet PHY and IEEE 802.3bz negotiation set the ceiling under continuous load.

How hot does the aluminium case get and does it draw much power when running all day?

Operating temperature is rated 0 °C to 40 °C; the bus-powered design draws only the current allowed by the USB-C port and stays cool during extended transfers.
