USB C to Ethernet Adapter 1Gbps with 3 USB 3.0 ports

This compact multi-port adapter expands a single USB-C or USB-A connection into a reliable wired network and extra USB ports, making it useful for laptops, tablets and consoles that lack built-in Ethernet. It brings Gigabit LAN connectivity for smoother online gaming and large file transfers, while also adding three USB 3.0 sockets and a USB-C data port for connecting drives, keyboards and other accessories.

Key Points

The hub converts one host port into one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, three USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C data port, helping to reduce reliance on wireless networks and minimise latency for streaming and multiplayer sessions. The cable is nylon braided and the housing is aluminium alloy, which the manufacturer says improves durability and heat dissipation. It works without additional drivers on most major operating systems, allowing quick plug-and-play use.

Practical Tips

For best network performance connect directly to your router or a high-quality switch rather than through additional hubs or extenders. When transferring large files from external drives use the USB 3.0 ports, which support faster throughput than the USB-C data port. Note that the USB-C port on the adapter supports data transfer according to the manufacturer and does not provide power delivery, so you will need a separate charger for laptop charging.

Usage Recommendations

This adapter is handy for remote work setups, conference rooms and travel where stable wired networking is preferred over WiFi. It is also useful for connecting multiple peripherals to thin laptops with limited ports, and for console players who want to reduce online lag during competitive games. Consider the device’s 480 Mbps limit on the USB-C data port when planning simultaneous heavy data streams, as that port is slower than the USB 3.0 sockets.
