How to use

Plug the adapter into an available USB-C port on your laptop or device, then connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port. Most compatible operating systems will detect the adapter automatically and configure network settings via DHCP. If manual network configuration is required, set IP addressing and DNS per your network parameters. When finished, safely disconnect the Ethernet cable and remove the adapter from the USB-C port.

Recommendations

For best performance, use Cat5e or higher-rated Ethernet cables and connect to a Gigabit-capable switch or router. Avoid excessive bending of the adapter and cable at the connector to prolong lifespan. If the operating system does not recognize the adapter, check for available system updates or consult the device manufacturer for driver support.
