StarTech.com USB 2.0 to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Adapter Dongle
10/100 MbpsUSB 2.0 Type-AVLAN + Wake-on-LANASIX AX88772C
The StarTech.com USB2100 is a USB 2.0 to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network adapter dongle that adds a Fast Ethernet RJ45 port to any laptop or desktop with a USB Type-A port. It is meant for replacing a failed on-board network port, adding a second network interface for a separate network, or connecting older equipment and service laptops to a LAN.
The adapter uses the ASIX AX88772C chipset, supports half and full duplex (up to 200 Mbps full duplex), auto MDI-X, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and Wake-on-LAN, and has Link and Activity LEDs. It has a 15 cm attached cable and a black plastic housing.
Before you order: This is a Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) adapter, not Gigabit. For faster file transfers on a Gigabit network, choose a USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter.
What's in the Box
- 1 x StarTech.com USB2100 USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet adapter

What It Means in Practice
- Enough bandwidth for internet access on most home and office broadband connections, video calls and web applications
- A handy second network port for configuring switches, firewalls or IoT devices on an isolated network
- Works on older PCs that only have USB 2.0 ports
- VLAN tagging lets it be used on managed networks that separate traffic by VLAN
What Will Not Work
- It will not run at Gigabit speed — the maximum is 100 Mbps
- It has no USB-C plug
- It is not suited to large NAS transfers or backups where Gigabit makes a real difference
- Current Windows and macOS versions are not on the OS list in StarTech's published manual — ask us before ordering for a new system

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The USB2100 makes sense as a cheap second interface or a spare for older machines. For a primary connection on a modern laptop, a Gigabit USB 3.0 or USB-C adapter from our network adapters range costs little more and is ten times faster on a local network.
✓ Buy it if you need a basic 10/100 wired port on a PC with USB 2.0 ports, or a second network interface.
✕ Skip it if you need Gigabit speed or have USB-C ports only.
→ Also consider D-Link DUB-1312 or HP 4Z7Z7AA for Gigabit over USB-A.
