Network Interface Cards

Features faster-than-wireless speeds and easy connectivity. The Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100 Network Adapter adds a Fast Ethernet (RJ45) capable port to any supported system. It uses the ASIX AX88772 chipset for widest possible compatibility. Note the adapter is not for network enabling USB devices, rather it's the other way around - it's a USB device that adds a fast wired network interface to supported computers, consoles, and mobile devices running network-capable operating systems.Two LEDs monitor power and link activity. Powered by USB (no external power adapter needed).

If your computer or tablet has an micro USB port, please consider using Plugable USB2-OTGE100 Ethernet adapter.

Compatibility

Drivers built in -- no driver install required -- on Windows 11, 10 and 8.x, Nintendo Wii, Wii U, Linux 2.6.35 and newer, ChromeBook, Chumby, and some other systems. Driver download and install required for Mac OS 10.6 and newer. On Windows 7, Vista 32/64-bit drivers are automatically provided via Windows Update. Windows XP, 2000, ME, and 98SE require driver install via download or included disk. Source code/driver available for Linux kernels 2.6.9 - 2.6.34.

Not supported on ARM-based Windows, including Surface RT and Surface 2. Not compatible with Apple iOS or Amazon devices.

Performance

Wired Ethernet via this adapter provides faster and more reliable network access than typical 802.11 wireless networking (up to 2-3x as fast). Particularly helpful for web video, downloads, and streaming. Useful to replace a broken network port, participate on multiple networks, or give virtual machines their own physical network connection.

Improve Speed and Reliability over Faster Networks

The Plugable USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USB2-E1000) kicks up network performance of computers with 100Mbps (10/100) Fast Ethernet adapters, using the higher speeds of USB 2.0 ports to achieve up to 300Mbps on a Gigabit network. It also adds the speed and reliability of wired Ethernet to computers with slow or unreliable wireless connections, or to computers without built-in Ethernet.

Chipset

Inside the USB2-E1000 is an ASIX AX88178 chipset for fast Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) network speeds and maximum USB 2.0 compatibility with almost all USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1 hosts.

Driver

• 32/64-bit drivers for Windows 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, and XP
• Drivers built into Linux kernel
• Raspberry Pi OS Jessie, Stretch, Buster
• (not supported on macOS)

Features faster-than-wireless speeds and easy connectivity. The Plugable USB 2.0 OTG Micro-B to 10/100 Ethernet Adapter adds a Fast Ethernet (RJ45) capable port to any system has a Micro-B USB port, OTG support, and built-in drivers. No separate OTG cable is needed.

This adapter has a USB 2.0 male Micro-B connector to the tablet and a RJ45 female connector to the network. It uses the ASIX AX88772 chipset for widest possible compatibility, including support built in to Windows 8 and higher and Linux versions. The unit features a compact external design. Two LEDs to monitor data and link activity. Powered by USB (no external power adapter needed).

Notes:If your computer or tablet has a full-sized USB port but not a micro-B USB port, please consider using Plugable USB2-E100 Ethernet adapter instead.


Compatibility

Drivers are built-in to Windows 11, 10, and 8.x tablets with a Micro-B OTG port.

This adapter is compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero running the Raspbian Pi OS.

Not compatible with Apple, Amazon, HTC & LG tablets and phones.

The Plugable USB3-E1000 is an easy way to gain wired gigabit network speeds for faster HD video streaming, gaming, web browsing, network storage and more. The USB3-E1000 is TAA compliant.
Common for this USB lan adapter uses include adding wired gigabit network support to Laptops, UltraBooks, or notebooks with no Ethernet connection, or replacing or upgrading network adapters in desktop PCs. In addition to being a compatible Switch ethernet adapter. USB network adapters can improve speeds vs. older 10/100 adapters and wireless networks. Also useful for adding network interfaces, and transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet. This product is NOT a solution for connecting a USB device like a printer to a network.
Performance
Plug the ethernet to USB adapter into any laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100 Ethernet, and benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet network. USB 3.0 systems support theoretical speeds up to 5Gbps and USB 2.0 supports up to 480Mbps. In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbps Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbps Gigabit ethernet via USB 2.0, and could see more than twice that gain on USB 3.0. Also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.
NOT SUPPORTED WITH macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer
Drivers
Microsoft signed 32/64-bit drivers for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Not compatible with ARM-based Windows RT systems (MS Surface, Asus ASUS VivoTab RT). Linux kernels 3.9 and later includes driver (3.8 and earlier require rebuild of kernel module from source). Not compatible with Android tablets, Tivo Series 2, Wii or other non-PC/Mac platforms. See the Plugable USB2-E100 for an adapter compatible with these.
