Connecting to Network

Now you can connect your network device (eg.: switch, router, DSL/cable modem) 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-MDIX feature, it eliminates the need to use crossover cables.

  • When the Ethernet adapter is used in the 10G netwrok, it is 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 (eg.: switch, router, DSL/cable modem) must also support 1000/2500/5000/10000Mbps.

On Window 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.
