Usage recommendations

For best performance, use a quality Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable and connect to a Gigabit‑capable router or switch. If the host device does not automatically detect the adapter, consult system updates or the device network settings for driver options or compatibility notes. Avoid excessive bending of the adapter and cables to preserve the USB‑C connector and housing.
