Where to buy





The external network card AXAGON ADE-ARC easily converts USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port to Gigabit Ethernet port. USB network adapter compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s expands the computer with a fast and stable network connection, adds the missing RJ-45 network connector, adds another network card, or replaces the original non-functional network connection.

In addition to gigabit throughput, the LAN adapter offers a wide range of features such as. IPv4/IPv6 checksum to reduce CPU load by checksums, the crossover detection and auto-correction, TCP large send offload, support for various modes of the Wake-on-LAN feature, the work with VLAN and advanced Power Management features.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and minimal weight, it is an ideal accessory for laptops. Support for current versions of Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS operating systems allows it to be used for any desktop computer, laptop or ultrabook. In Windows from version 8.1 and above, the adapter enables easy automatic installation without the need for an Internet connection.

FAQ

A): If the network card is not displayed in "Device Manager", a USB port (or a PCIe slot in the event of an internal network card) may be malfunctioning.

B): Try plugging the network card into another USB port (or another PCIe slot on the PC motherboard in the event of an internal network card, or temporarily disconnect all other PCIe cards). The network card should be detected and you should be prompted to install the drivers. If the problem persists, plug the network card into the USB port (PCIe slot) of another computer to verify its functionality.

A): If this happens, it means that the operating system failed to get the necessary information to install the drivers.

B): The cause may be a defective USB extension cable or damaged device. If the problem persists, plug the network card into the USB port of another computer to verify its functionality.

A): Before connecting the USB network card to an Android device (tablet), you first need to verify with the device manufacturer whether the device supports the Ethernet network feature and also whether the USB network card drivers are included in your specific ANDROID ROM installation.

B): Use a USB connector with OTG support to connect the USB network card to your tablet. If the device (tablet) is equipped with a Mini USB or Micro USB connector, use an OTG reduction or cable to connect it.

A): The Ethernet interface transmission speed setting is a fully independent from USB connection and can be set in the network card's properties. The default setting is an automatic negotiation when the speed is set according to other elements in the LAN network.

B): If you connect the Gigabit adapter via the USB 2.0 port, the overall bandwidth of the adapter will be limited by bandwidth of the USB 2.0 interface, which is theoretically 480 Mb/s; in Gigabit Ethernet environments this adapter will be up to 4x faster than 10/100 Ethernet adapters.
