How to use

Plug the USB-A connector into the USB-A port of your laptop or tablet and connect the RJ45 plug to a router, modem or network switch. The built-in smart chip handles the interface conversion; in most systems Ethernet will become available automatically. If necessary, check the operating system network settings to ensure the USB Ethernet adapter is enabled.

Recommendations

Use the cable for wired network connections when Wi‑Fi is unstable or unavailable. Avoid sharp bends and heavy tugging; keep connectors dry and clean to maintain reliable performance. For critical installations, confirm driver compatibility with your operating system and test network throughput before deployment.
