Usb 2.0 Ethernet Adapter Driver
Plug into any USB 2.0 laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100 Ethernet, and benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet Network. USB 2.0 supports theoretical speeds up to 480Mbs. In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbs Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbs Gigabit ethernet via USB. Also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds. INCLUDED IN PACKAGE: USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, and Quick Install Guide and Driver CD inside package between paper sleeves.
Common Uses
- Add an additional network interface to any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer via a simple USB adapter
- Improve the connectivity speed of your current 100 Mbs Fast Ethernet computer when a Gigabit Ethernet network is available (see details below on Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 speeds)
- Improved connectivity speed vs. computers currently connected over WiFi/802.11 wireless networks

Installing Drivers
There are 3 easy options for installing drivers.
- On Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and Windows 7 systems with Windows Update enabled, just leave the network cable connected to a different network adapter (so Windows Update can be reached) and just plug in the USB side of the adapter. Windows will look for the best driver.
- Drivers for many platforms (including Windows, Linux, Windows CE, etc.) are available for download. The complete list of drivers and supported platforms for the AX88178 chip in the Plugable USB2-E1000 is available on the ASIX AX88178 driver download page.
- Or use the drivers from the included CD-ROM.
