How to use

Insert the USB-C plug of the adapter into an available USB-C port on your laptop, tablet or compact PC. Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from your router, switch or wall outlet to the adapter's Ethernet port. The operating system should detect the adapter automatically; if necessary, install drivers provided by the device manufacturer or through the operating system’s update mechanism. After connection, verify network settings such as DHCP or static IP to ensure proper connectivity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables and connect to a Gigabit-capable switch or router. Keep the adapter’s USB-C plug fully inserted and avoid excessive bending of the cable or neck. If experiencing connection issues, check driver availability and OS compatibility, and test the adapter on another USB-C port or device to isolate the problem.
