Compact USB 2.0 network adapter

The Linksys USB200M adds a wired Ethernet port to any desktop or notebook through a standard USB Type A connector. It draws power from the host computer, so no external supply is needed. The compact design suits portable use and plugs directly into a USB port or hub without opening the case. Driver support covers Windows 98, Millennium, 2000 and XP.

10/100 Mbps throughput headroom

The adapter operates at 10 or 100 Mbps over a single RJ45 port and complies with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards. It handles typical office and home networking tasks such as file sharing, printing and internet access within that bandwidth. Performance tops out at 100 Mbps, so gigabit networks will run at the lower rate.

USB 2.0 bus interface requirement

Connection relies on a USB 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 host port; the device will not function without an available USB Type A socket. Wake-on-LAN is not supported, so remote power-on via the network is unavailable. Buyers needing gigabit speeds or modern operating-system drivers should consider other options.

Questions about this item

Will the USB200M work on a notebook that only has USB 1.1 ports?

Yes, the adapter supports USB 1.1 and 2.0, so it will operate on older notebooks at the 10/100Mbps network speed.

How can I confirm the USB200M has negotiated a 100Mbps full-duplex link after installation?

Check the LEDs: the 100/ACT light shows 100Mbps activity and the F/H LED indicates full-duplex operation.

Does the USB200M package include an Ethernet cable, or do I need to buy a Category 5 patch lead separately?

The box contains the adapter, a USB cable, a driver CD and a user guide; a Category 5 Ethernet cable is not included.
