USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter

This USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter adds a wired 1000Mbps network port to laptops, desktops and the Nintendo Switch. The aluminium shell dissipates heat and a reinforced cable joint resists daily wear. A yellow-green LED shows link and activity status at a glance.

1000Mbps over USB 3.0

The adapter uses the AX88179B controller to deliver full gigabit throughput on a USB 3.0 Type-A connection. Driver-free operation covers Windows 10, 11, macOS, Chrome OS and Android; Windows 7, Vista, XP and Linux require a one-time driver install.

For users who need a stable wired link on USB

Ideal for travelers, Switch dock users and thin-and-light laptops lacking an RJ45 port. Not suited for hosts that only offer USB 2.0, USB-C without an adapter, or multi-gigabit networks beyond 1000Mbps.
