⚠️ Important Notice: Network Speed & Hardware Guidelines

1. Gigabit Speed Requirements: Achieving full 1000Mbps Gigabit network speed requires a Gigabit router/switch LAN port, Gigabit broadband internet service, and an 8-core Cat6 or higher (or high-spec Cat5e) RJ45 Ethernet cable. Connecting to a 100Mbps port or using a legacy 4-core cable will negotiate at 100Mbps.
2. Ethernet Cable Required: This is a direct-plug adapter with an RJ45 female socket. A separate RJ45 Ethernet patch cable (not included) is required to connect to your router, modem, or wall network jack.
3. USB Type-C Dedicated Plug: Features a standard USB Type-C male connector designed specifically for host laptops, tablets, and computers with USB-C or Thunderbolt ports.
4. Driver-Free Plug and Play: Delivers instant driverless connectivity across modern operating systems (Windows 11/10, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android).
5. Advanced Energy Saving & Wake-on-LAN: Fully supports Wake-on-LAN (WoL), IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, and IPv4/IPv6 packet checksum offload engine (COE) for optimized network efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Q: Does this adapter require a separate Ethernet cable?
A: Yes. This adapter features a female RJ45 network socket. You will need a standard RJ45 Ethernet patch cable (Cat6 or Cat5e recommended) to connect from the adapter to your router, switch, or wall network port.

Q: Why is my connection speed showing 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps?
A: Gigabit 1000Mbps transmission requires that your router port, broadband plan, and Ethernet cable (must be an 8-core Cat5e or Cat6 cable) all support Gigabit speeds. If any device in the chain is limited to 100Mbps, the connection automatically negotiates at 100Mbps.

Q: Do I need to install any drivers to use this adapter?
A: On modern operating systems including Windows 11/10, macOS, ChromeOS, and iPadOS, it is fully plug and play with no manual driver installation required.
