The external network card AXAGON ADE-AR easily converts USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port to Gigabit Ethernet port. USB network adapter compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s expands the computer with a fast and stable network connection, adds the missing RJ-45 network connector, adds another network card, or replaces the original non-functional network connection.

In addition to gigabit throughput, the LAN adapter offers a wide range of features such as. IPv4/IPv6 checksum to reduce CPU load by checksums, the crossover detection and auto-correction, TCP large send offload, support for various modes of the Wake-on-LAN feature, the work with VLAN and advanced Power Management features.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and minimal weight, it is an ideal accessory for laptops. Support for current versions of Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS operating systems allows it to be used for any desktop computer, laptop or ultrabook. In Windows from version 8.1 and above, the adapter enables easy automatic installation without the need for an Internet connection.
