The AXAGON external network adapter turns a USB‑A 3.2 Gen 1 port into a fast 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connection. It offers automatic installation with no Internet required, broad compatibility with Windows / macOS / Linux, reliable RJ‑45 10/100/1000/2500 Mb/s, and advanced features such as VLAN, Jumbo Frames, Wake‑on‑LAN, and power‑saving EEE. The aluminum body ensures excellent cooling and durability.

Quickly add or replace your computer’s network connection. Powered by the Realtek RTL8156B chipset, the adapter delivers 2.5GBase‑T over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables up to 100 m thanks to IEEE 802.3bz (NBASE‑T). Ideal for laptops and ultrabooks — you get a stable, high‑speed wired connection with no complicated setup.

The device is Plug & Play and supports Hot Plug. It is bus‑powered from USB, so no external power adapter is needed. The aluminum shell protects the electronics and efficiently dissipates heat, while two LEDs indicate link and activity. Broad compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux makes deployment easy at home and in the office.

Key features:

  • 2.5 Gb/s via USB‑A 3.2 Gen 1, backward compatible with USB 2.0.
  • RJ‑45 10/100/1000/2500 Mb/s, Auto MDI/MDIX, Jumbo Frames, VLAN (802.1Q), QoS (802.1p).
  • Checksum Offload, TCP Large Send Offload v1/v2, EEE 802.3az, full‑duplex operation with 802.3x flow control.
  • Wake‑on‑LAN (Magic Packet, Microsoft modes, Link Change), RealWoW!, ECMA‑393 proxZzzy.
