TP-Link USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter | UE306
The TP-Link UE306 adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet port to a laptop, PC or Nintendo Switch dock through a USB 3.0 port. It supports network speeds up to 1000 Mbps and has a compact, foldable design for carrying in a laptop bag.

USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet: With a USB 3.0 connector and a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port, the UE306 supports network speeds up to 1000 Mbps for large file transfers, downloads, streaming and gaming.

Works with Nintendo Switch: Plug it into the Nintendo Switch dock to get a wired connection, which is faster and more stable than Wi-Fi for downloads and online play.

Plug and Play: No manual driver installation on Nintendo Switch, Windows 11/10/8.1, macOS and Linux; an LED indicator shows the network status.

Foldable, Portable Design: The cable folds against the body, so the adapter is easy to carry with an ultrabook.
Who it's for / Works with: Laptops and ultrabooks without an Ethernet port, desktop PCs, and the Nintendo Switch dock; connect to a modem, router or network switch.
Good to know: Windows 7 and 8 need a driver downloaded from the TP-Link website. Gigabit speed needs a USB 3.0 port and a Gigabit network; the Ethernet cable is not included.
