Network Connection​

Now you can connect your network device, switch router, DSL/Cable modem, e.g, to the adapter's LAN port via an Ethernet cable.
Notes on Ethernet Cables

  • Sometimes a so-call crossover Ethernet cable is required for connection to certain network equipments. As the adapter's LAN port supports Auto-MDlX feature, it eliminates the need to use crossover cables.
  • When the Ethernet adapter is used in the 10G network, it's recommended that you use Category 7 Ethernet cable for higher transmission speed. The adapter's AutoSense feature can automatically detect the network's maximum line speed. To have a 1000/2500/5000/10000Mbps connection, your network device (e.g., switch,router or DSL modem) must also support 1000/2500/5000/10000Mbps.

On Windows 10, you can view the connection speed by the steps below:

  1. Right-click the network icon in the system tray and select Open Network&Internet settings.
  2. Click Change adapter options.
  3. Right-click the Ethernet icon indicating your network adapter and click Status.
  4. Then the Ethernet Properties window appears for user to make required settings.
