StarTech.com USB31000S — USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, Black, TAA

Gigabit EthernetUSB-A 5 GbpsASIX AX88179ATAA compliant

The StarTech.com USB31000S is an USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter that adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet port to a laptop, desktop PC, tablet or thin client through its USB-A port. It is TAA compliant and supports StarTech.com Connectivity Tools, which add MAC address pass-through and automatic Wi-Fi switching. It is built on the ASIX AX88179A controller and connects at 10/100/1000 Mbps. It draws its power from the USB port, so there is no separate power supply to carry. A cable connection is the dependable answer when Wi-Fi is weak, crowded or not allowed, when a slim laptop has no network socket, or when backups, large downloads and video calls need a steady, low-latency link.

Compatibility — check before buying:
Check the port: the adapter has a USB-A plug; on a laptop that only has USB-C ports, choose a USB-C model instead. It links at up to 1 Gbps with any standard switch or router port, and Cat5e cable or better is enough. Operating systems listed by StarTech.com: Windows 7 and later, Windows Server, macOS 10.14 and later, Ubuntu 20.04 (kernel 5.15+, LTS only), ChromeOS. Not sure it suits your laptop, dock or switch? Tell us the model and we check it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install a driver?
Supported systems listed by StarTech.com: Windows 7 and later, Windows Server, macOS 10.14 and later, Ubuntu 20.04 (kernel 5.15+, LTS only), ChromeOS. Where the system does not load a driver on its own, install the driver from the StarTech.com support page for this model.
Is it faster than Wi-Fi?
A wired Gigabit link gives up to 1 Gbps with steadier latency than most Wi-Fi connections — that is what video calls, remote desktop and large transfers benefit from. Your internet speed still depends on your connection.
Will it work on a USB-C-only laptop?
Not directly — it has a USB-A plug. For USB-C laptops choose StarTech.com US1GC30B (USB-C).
Does it work through a dock or USB hub?
Usually yes — it is a standard USB network device. For full speed the hub or dock port must be USB 3.x, and bus-powered hubs should have enough power for all connected devices.
Singular Expert Insight
We suggest the USB31000S for corporate laptop fleets where IT wants MAC address pass-through and automatic Wi-Fi switching on a USB-A adapter. The USB31000SW is the white version; the USB31000S2 uses a Realtek chipset with a longer cable. Browse more network cards or network switches. Local support in Cyprus comes with every order.
