Why am I not getting 5Gbps speeds?

• Ensure your USB-C port supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 or later. • Your router/switch must support 5GbE speeds. • Use a CAT 6a or better Ethernet cable. • Some devices limit speeds to 2.5Gbps or lower.

Why is my connection limited to 2.5Gbps or lower?

• If your router/switch supports only 2.5GbE, 1GbE, or lower, the adapter will auto-adjust. • Some USB-C ports provide only 5Gbps total bandwidth, limiting networking speeds.

Does this work with all USB-C devices?

• No. It requires a USB 3.1 Gen 1+ port with data transfer. • It will not work on power-only USB-C ports (often found on some laptops and tablets).

Do I need to install drivers?

• Windows 10/11 and macOS: No drivers needed. • Linux & Other OS: Manual installation may be required—check our SABRENT Support Page for drivers.

Why is my adapter warm?

• The aluminum body helps dissipate heat. Mild warmth is normal. • If excessively hot, check for firmware updates and proper ventilation.

Can I use this with a USB-A adapter?

No. USB-C to USB-A adapters limit speeds to 1Gbps due to USB-A bandwidth constraints.

How do I check my connection speed?

• Windows: Go to “Network & Internet Settings” → “Ethernet” → “Link Speed”. • macOS: Open “Network Preferences” → Select Ethernet → “Status”.
