Plugable USB 2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

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.

Please note, this adapter is NOT a solution for connecting USB devices like printers, hard drives, etc to a network. This adapter cannot be used to share Ethernet, WiFi, or data between multiple devices. This adapter cannot be used for Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). This adapter is NOT supported on macOS.

Performance

If your network speeds are currently limited by slow WiFi or a 100Mbps (10/100) network adapter in your computer, this adapter can provide up to 250-300 Mbps on networks that support these speeds.

Please note that ultimately, your Internet Service Provider's maximum speed will determine the upper level of performance. Speeds can also be limited by other computers on the network, excessive traffic on a cable connection, or network cabling and devices like switches or routers that don't support higher network speeds.

This adapter will also allow 100Mbps (10/100) networks to transfer data at their fastest available speed

Setup

A driver CD is included, however we recommend downloading drivers to ensure the latest version is used. For updated drivers please visit the Plugable drivers page.

Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation is easy as 1-2-3!

Connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi or other connection.
Plug the USB2-E1000 adapter into a USB port on your computer.
Allow Windows Update a moment to automatically install drivers.

When Windows Update isn't an option, simply visit the Pugable drivers page for the latest release. Support for Linux kernel versions including or later than 2.6 and 3.x.

Configuration

Configuring the USB2-E1000 is identical to that of an onboard Ethernet device. Visit the Control Panel or Network Preferences section of your system to assign static IP addresses or for other advanced configuration options

LED Behavior

The yellow "Link" light should stay lit continuously when plugged into Ethernet. The green "Activity" light should flash slightly during data transfers - it almost appears solid green so look closely for flashing.

Should the yellow link fail to light or the green activity light fail to flash to indicate traffic, you might have a faulty device or a software issue. If so, please connect support@plugable.com.
