How to use

Insert the USB-C connector of the USB-0402 into an available USB-C port on your laptop or tablet. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the adapter and to your network or router. The adapter is plug-and-play on most systems; the operating system should automatically detect the device and configure network settings. If required, verify network settings in your OS network control panel and enable Wake-on-LAN in BIOS or system settings when remote startup is needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, use Cat5e or higher rated Ethernet cables and connect to Gigabit-capable network equipment. Keep device firmware and host OS network drivers up to date for compatibility and security.
