Experience network speeds 2.5 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. It's ideal for bandwidth-intensive tasks and is backward compatible with 1000/100/10 Mbps networks. To achieve the full 2.5Gbps speed, a Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable is required.

【Versatile 2-in-1 Hybrid Design】

This adapter features a USB-C cable with a handy attached USB-A converter, guaranteeing you'll always have the right connection for both modern and legacy laptops and devices. For full performance, a USB 3.2 port is recommended.

【Advanced & Reliable Chipset】: Built with the proven RTL8156B chipset, it ensures a stable, secure, and ultra-fast data connection, eliminating frustrating network dropouts.

【Effective Heat Dissipation】

The clever double-sided ventilation design promotes rapid heat dissipation, maintaining a cool operating temperature and reliable performance even during extended, heavy-load use.

【Clear Status Indicators】

Two-colour (green/amber) LED lights make it easy to monitor your connection status at a glance: a blinking green light indicates a 2500Mbps connection, while a blinking amber light signifies 10/100/1000Mbps.

【Remote Wake-on-LAN Support】: Supports 'Wake-On-Lan' and 'RealWoW!' technologies, allowing you to remotely wake up a sleeping computer over the network.

【System Requirements】: Works with Windows 10 / 8.x / 7 / Vista / XP; Mac OS 10.6 to 11.x; iPadOS; Linux Kernel 3.2 and above; and up-to-date Chrome OS.

【Devices】: Universally compatible with USB-C and USB-A desktops, laptops, PCs, and iPads from major brands like Apple, Lenovo, Dell, and Asus. Also fully compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports.

【Plug-and-Play Convenience】

Offers true plug-and-play functionality for Windows 10, Mac OS 10.13.6 to 11.x, iPadOS, Linux Kernel 5.x and above, and the latest Chrome OS. Please note: Older versions of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS may require a driver download for the adapter to function correctly.

【Easy Setup】:

Plug the adapter directly into your computer's USB port.

Connect a standard Ethernet cable from your router or modem to the adapter's RJ45 port.

Once an LED light begins blinking, your connection is active. Open a browser to test it.

【Driver Information】: Drivers are available for download if needed. Older Mac OS versions will have limited functionality (capped at 1Gbps) until the correct driver is installed.

【Non-Compatible Devices】

This adapter is NOT compatible with ARM-based Windows RT, Windows Mobile, most Android devices, TiVo Series 2, Wii, or other non-PC/Mac platforms. Using a USB 2.0 port will also significantly limit the adapter's performance.
