Two-adapter kit for wired LAN

This pack contains one USB 3.0 to RJ45 adapter and one USB 2.0 to RJ45 adapter. The USB 3.0 model supports 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps through a Realtek RTL8153 chipset. The USB 2.0 model delivers 10 and 100 Mbps with a Realtek chipset and draws power from the USB bus. Both are new and covered by a two-year warranty.

Suits mixed-port devices.

Users with a mix of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports can connect either adapter for a stable wired link. The USB 3.0 unit adds auto-crossover detection and Wake-on-LAN support. The USB 2.0 unit requires a one-time driver install on Windows 7, XP, Vista, macOS or Linux, while Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 are driver-free. Buyers who only have USB 3.0 ports and want gigabit on every connection do not need the slower adapter.

USB 3.0 adapter reaches 1000 Mbps.

The USB 3.0 dongle negotiates up to 1000 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts. The USB 2.0 dongle is limited to 100 Mbps fast Ethernet and works with USB 1.0 and 1.1 as well. Choose this pack when you need both speed tiers across different machines or ports.
