How to use

Connect the USB Type-A plug of the Lenovo 01YU028 adapter to an available USB Type-A port on your computer or host device. Attach a standard Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the adapter and to your network outlet or switch. On most systems the adapter will be recognized automatically; if prompted, install any required drivers provided by the operating system or available from the device manufacturer. Once connected, configure network settings through your operating system's network control panel if manual configuration is necessary.

Usage recommendations

For stable performance, use a high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable and connect to a compatible network switch or router. Avoid excessive bending or strain on the adapter and cable junction to prolong service life. If the host device does not automatically detect the adapter, consult the system's driver support resources to download the correct drivers.
