StarTech.com USB31000S2 — USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, Space Grey

Gigabit EthernetUSB-A 5 GbpsDriverless installSpace Grey

The StarTech.com USB31000S2 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. Its longer 11-inch attached cable lets the adapter lie on the desk instead of hanging from the port. It is built on the Realtek RTL8153 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 7–11 and Windows Server, macOS 10.14–13.0, Linux kernel 4.11–5.9.16 LTS, 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?
No. StarTech.com specifies a driverless install on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS versions in its list: Windows 7–11 and Server, macOS 10.14–13.0, Linux 4.11–5.9.16 LTS, ChromeOS.
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 USB31000S2 for office laptops and desktops with a free USB-A port, where IT wants an adapter that installs without driver discs. Do not confuse it with the USB31000S (black, ASIX chipset, shorter cable) — both are Gigabit. Browse more network cards or network switches. Local support in Cyprus comes with every order.
