This compact USB 3.0 network adapter is backward compatible with older USB 2.0/1.x computer systems (speed limited by USB bus), making it the ideal portable replacement network adapter or laptop accessory. Plus, with support for features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN (WOL), the adapter offers versatile Gigabit network performance for home and business users alike. The USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. Applications - Add Gigabit Ethernet capabilities to a desktop or laptop
- Replace a failed integrated network adapter with an external, USB Gigabit Ethernet connection, instead of having to open a desktop or laptop computer case
