A ITEM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS - Excellent product and service. Highly recommended Review: All working now after replacement =D - Update 2: Just received a replacement from Cable Matters, and as expected, Windows 10 recognized the device instantly without needing to install driver manually, on USB 3.0 ports!! Good speed and reliable connection after 2-hour gaming/streaming! The first adapter should have worked the first time but I'm giving it a five star for the company's fast response and easy resolution. They included prepaid envelop for me to drop off and return the original adapter to them. The first adapter must have been defective. So anyone having issue with this adapter working on USB 3.0 ports should try getting into contact with Cable Matters. They can probably take care of you very well =) Update: after reading reviews for another product on desertcart, I found people are having issues with USB 3.0 ports. So I tried this adapter on a USB 2.0 port, and boom it worked, even without manually installing drivers as Windows 10 recognized the device and downloaded driver by itself! However, I bought this cable for my laptop, which does not have a USB 2.0 port. If anyone successfully used this adapter on a USB 3.0 port in Windows 10, please let me know. Much appreciation! I don't know how other people can get this thing (UBS 3.0 Version) connected to their computers. There should be no driver needed for Windows 10, because the Windows was able to detect the driver and install them automatically. Even so, after it failed to work that way, I had hope that maybe using a driver directly from the ASIX website, magic will happen. It turns out magic rarely happens. Tried the latest standalone driver as well as the driver installer directly from ASIX, Windows 10 is still giving hardware malfunction notice. Specifically, I've attached the error message to this review as screenshots. First one is the pop-up notification, the second one was the window that gives more info after you click the error message in the notification center. I tried this adapter across various Windows 10 machines and it failed to work on all alike. I suspect a defective hardware. Bummer. I was getting this adapter in a rush to get a project done, but now I'll have to wait for another couple days. ## Features - USB 3 to Ethernet adapter adds network connectivity to a computer with a USB 3.0 port; The USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfer rate up to 5 Gbps for 1000 BASE-T network performance with backwards compatibility to 10/100 Mbps networks; Connect the USB computer network adapters with a Cat 6 Ethernet cable (sold separately) for the best performance - Wireless alternative USB to RJ45 adapter for connecting to the Internet in Wi-Fi dead zones, streaming large video files, or downloading a software upgrade through a wired home or office LAN; USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter provides faster data transfers and better security than most wireless connections; Ideal solution for replacing a failed network card or upgrading the bandwidth of an older computer - Driver free installation with native driver support in Chrome, Mac, and Windows OS; The USB to Network Adapter supports important performance features including Wake-on-Lan (WoL), Full-Duplex (FDX) and Half-Duplex (HDX) Ethernet, Crossover Detection, Backpressure Routing, Auto-Correction (Auto MDIX), Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), Supports MAC address pass-through (MAC clone) with the Cable Matters EZ-Dock utility software (Windows) - Lightweight Ethernet to USB adapter weighs less than 1 ounce for easy portability in your laptop case; Add a standard RJ45 port to your Ultrabook or MacBook with a USB 3.0 port for file transfers, video steaming and gaming with this USB network adapter - Chrome & Mac & Windows compatible USB lan adapter for Windows 11/10/8/8.1/7/Vista and MacOS 10.8 and up; The USB Ethernet Adapter 3.0 does not support Windows RT ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BBD7NFU | | Best Sellers Rank | #44 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | ChromeOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 10,463 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 gigabytes_per_second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00738435982911 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet, USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters | | Mfr Part Number | FBA_202013-BLACK | | Model Number | FBA_202013-BLACK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H | | UPC | 738435982911 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Desktop - **Compatible Operating System Family:** ChromeOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, USB - **Data Transfer Rate:** 1 Gigabytes Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet, USB - **Product Dimensions:** 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H - **UPC:** 738435982911 - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 Gigabit Network - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617yy+u6VQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why doesn't this adapter work with my TV?** A: TVs typically don’t have the required drivers for this adapter.

Since it adapts to a USB 3.0 interface, it is able to take advantage of the increased speeds USB 3.0 has to offer. It has the capacity to work with internet speeds up to 1000mbps. In the 8 months I have owned this device, I have never experienced any problems with it. This device is simple to use: plug the ethernet cord into it, plug the USB end into the computer, and start browsing. If you are using a Windows or Chromebook computer, there are no additional steps required. I have not tested this on a Linux or Mac computer. The device is powered by the USB port as well, which means that an external power source is not required. I have tested the speed this ethernet adapter provides and have compared it to my desktop computer, and the speeds are identical. In my tests, the maximum download speed my service provider provides is 25mbps, so I have not tested the upper limits of the device. However, I suspect that the device will work well on those upper speeds. The device itself is solid in its construction. I carry it in my book bag, and as the contents shift and settle, this device ends up at the bottom, below books, other devices, and other wires. It stands up under all of that pressure without breaking or even bending. Many newer tablets and laptops ship without an ethernet port (to reduce the size of the device, in most cases). This is the perfect tool to have to compensate. Simply carry this around in a book bag or suitcase, and you will be able to use an ethernet cable wherever one may be. Overall, I would recommend this device to anyone who needs an ethernet to USB 3.0 adapter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet to USB, Ethernet Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100/1000Mbps - TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter (UE306), Supports Nintendo Switch, Foldable USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter, Supports Windows, Linux, Apple MacBook OS 10.11 - 12(Driver Required) - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1287120-usb-to-ethernet-adapter-usb-3-0-gigabit-network](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1287120-usb-to-ethernet-adapter-usb-3-0-gigabit-network) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
