How to use

Ensure both devices are powered on; the connected device should detect the adapter and enable wired network access. No extra drivers are typically required due to the built-in smart chip, but check the host device’s network settings if a manual configuration is needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid tight bends. Use the 10 m length to position networking equipment for optimal signal and convenience. Verify device compatibility with USB-A host ports and, if necessary, consult your operating system’s device manager for driver updates.
