Recommendations

For maximum performance, connect the adapter directly to a USB-C port on your computer. If using a USB-A port, a USB-C to USB-A adapter is required but may limit bandwidth. The optional external power supply is recommended when connecting power-hungry devices to the Ethernet ports. Install the latest drivers from the Realtek website for optimal compatibility and feature support.
