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
