Compact USB Adapter for 1 Gbps Wired Connectivity
The UE306 from TP-Link is a compact and efficient solution for adding gigabit wired network access to laptops, desktops, or ultrabooks that lack an Ethernet port. With a plug-and-play USB 3.0 interface, the adapter offers stable 1 Gbps connection speeds, making it ideal for video calls, gaming, large file transfers and network-intensive tasks—especially when WiFi is weak or unavailable.
Key Features
High-Speed Gigabit Wired Networking
The UE306 delivers true 1 Gbps (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet over USB 3.0, allowing rapid access to high-speed networks for streaming, gaming or working from home.
USB 3.0 Interface for Wide Compatibility
Utilises a USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) connection to the host device, providing more than enough bandwidth to support full gigabit Ethernet speeds without bottleneck. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports and supports hot-plug.
Plug & Play for Most Operating Systems
The adapter is plug-and-play on Windows, macOS and many Linux distributions — simply connect and go. Ideal for laptops lacking built-in Ethernet ports.
