StarTech.com USB31000SW — USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, White

Gigabit EthernetUSB-A 5 GbpsASIX AX88179AWhite

The StarTech.com USB31000SW 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. The white housing matches white iMacs, older MacBooks and light-coloured desks, and StarTech.com’s Connectivity Tools software is supported. 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 7–11 and Windows Server, macOS 10.6–26.1, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and later, 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 7–11 and Windows Server, macOS 10.6–26.1, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and later, 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 US1GC30W (USB-C, white).
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 USB31000SW for white Mac and PC setups with a USB-A port, and for IT teams that like a colour-coded adapter pool. The USB31000S is the same adapter in black. Browse more network cards or network switches. Local support in Cyprus comes with every order.
