USB 2.0 RJ45 adapter for wired networking

This USB 2.0 to RJ45 adapter adds a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port to laptops, tablets and consoles that lack a built-in jack. It draws power from the USB bus and requires no external supply. The ASIX AX88772 chipset handles IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX links.

Black plastic shell with link and activity LEDs

The compact black housing fits beside other ports without blocking them. Two LEDs show link status and data activity at a glance. USB 2.0's 480 Mbps bus carries the 100 Mbps Ethernet stream with headroom to spare. Crossover detection and auto MDIX remove the need for special cables.

Broad OS support including Nintendo consoles

Driverless installation works on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.12, Linux kernel 2.6 and 3.x, and Chrome OS. Nintendo Switch, Wii and Wii U are explicitly supported for online play and updates. Windows RT and Android devices are not compatible.

Questions about this item

What speed does the USB 2.0 interface cap the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port at in practice?

The USB 2.0 bus runs at 480 Mbps, so the adapter delivers full 10/100 Mbps Ethernet throughput without bottleneck.

What physical port does the adapter need on the host device to fit?

It plugs into any standard USB Type-A 2.0 port; the RJ45 jack accepts a regular Ethernet cable.

How is the adapter installed, and what step do users often miss?

Plug it into a USB port — most systems load the ASIX AX88772 driver automatically; the common mistake is forgetting to enable Wake-on-LAN in the OS network settings if that feature is needed.
