USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

This biaze USB-C to RJ45 adapter adds a wired 1000Mbps network port to laptops, tablets and handheld consoles that lack built-in Ethernet. It uses the ASIX AX88179A chipset for driverless operation on Windows 11, macOS and Android, so the connection is active as soon as the adapter is plugged in. The compact 2.1oz enclosure includes heat-dissipation grooves and a velvet pouch for travel. Dual LEDs show power and link speed at a glance.

Ideal for portable devices without Ethernet

Remote workers and gamers who need stable, low-latency connections on a MacBook, iPad Pro, Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch will benefit from the plug-and-play design. The adapter is not suited for desktop PCs that already have onboard Gigabit Ethernet or for users who require multi-gigabit speeds beyond 1000Mbps. Buyers needing additional USB ports, video output or Power Delivery should consider a full USB-C hub instead.

1000Mbps wired throughput decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 1000Mbps maximum data rate delivered through the USB-C interface. If your workflow or gaming setup demands sustained throughput higher than one gigabit per second, this adapter will be a bottleneck. For standard broadband, office VPNs, 4K streaming and online gaming at Gigabit speeds, the AX88179A controller provides reliable performance.
