The gear
About this gear
The TP-Link UE306 adds a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port to any computer with a USB-A port, using the USB 3.0 bus to reach gigabit throughput. It is built on the ASIX AX88179 chipset, weighs 20 g, has a status LED and a short foldable cable, and is powered from the USB port.
Typical jobs: putting a laptop on a wired production or NDI network when it has no Ethernet port, adding a second network card so a machine can sit on two networks at once, or giving a streaming PC a wired uplink instead of Wi-Fi. TP-Link lists plug-and-play support for Windows 10/8.1, Linux and Nintendo Switch; older Windows versions need the driver from TP-Link's website.

TP-Link lists plug-and-play support for Windows 10/8.1, Linux and Nintendo Switch. For Windows 7 and 8 the driver is on TP-Link's website.
On a USB 3.0 port, yes. On a USB 2.0 port it still works, but throughput is limited by the slower bus.
