What it does well.
Four Useful Connections from One USB-A Port
Gigabit Ethernet 01 Add a 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 connection to a computer without a built-in Ethernet port.
Three USB Data Ports 02 Connect USB flash drives, storage devices, keyboards, mice, webcams and other compatible accessories.
One-Cable Expansion 03 The integrated USB-A cable keeps the adapter compact for office, home, travel and temporary workstations.
Optional Auxiliary Power 04 A 5V DC input can provide additional power for demanding USB peripherals when required.
Build a More Capable Workspace
The hub combines three USB-A data ports with one RJ45 network port, helping reduce the number of separate adapters required around your laptop.
- Connect a wired keyboard and mouse
- Transfer files from a USB flash drive
- Use compatible external storage
- Connect a USB webcam, printer or audio accessory
- Add wired Ethernet to computers without an RJ45 port
Up to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from your router, modem or network switch to enjoy a wired network connection with support for 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps link modes.
1000Mbps refers to the maximum negotiated network-link rate, not a guaranteed internet speed. Actual performance depends on the computer, USB port, Ethernet cable, router or switch, network traffic, drivers and internet plan.
For the best Gigabit result Connect the hub directly to a USB 3.0 port, use a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable, and confirm that the router, switch, broadband connection and computer settings support Gigabit Ethernet.
- Supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet
- Compatible with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab
- Useful where Wi-Fi coverage is weak or congested
- Suitable for office work, file transfers, video calls and supported online gaming
USB 3.0 Data Transfer up to 5Gbps
The three USB 3.0 ports support theoretical data rates up to 5Gbps, making the hub suitable for transferring documents, photographs, videos and other files with compatible USB storage devices.
The USB ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, with operation limited to the speed supported by the connected device and host computer.
The USB ports, Ethernet function and upstream USB-A connection share the available host bandwidth. Individual devices do not each receive a dedicated 5Gbps connection, and real-world speeds will be lower.
AX88179A Ethernet Controller
The current UGREEN India product artwork identifies an AX88179A Ethernet controller, designed to manage the USB-to-Gigabit-Ethernet connection and provide broad operating-system support.
Many modern operating systems recognise the adapter automatically. Older or particular operating-system versions may require a compatible network driver.
Broad System Compatibility
Designed for laptops and desktops equipped with a USB-A data port. Compatible operating systems include supported versions of Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux.
Check the host connector This model has an integrated USB-A male connector. A computer offering only USB-C ports requires a separate compatible USB-C-to-USB-A adapter or a different USB-C hub. Additional adapters can affect power, bandwidth and compatibility.
Suitable for Different Workspaces
Office and Home Add wired networking and commonly used USB accessories to a laptop workstation.
Travel Carry one compact adapter for hotel Ethernet, storage and essential USB peripherals.
IT Support Useful for network testing and temporary wired connections on compatible computers.
Compatible Gaming Setups Add wired networking through a compatible console dock or USB-A host connection.
A Wired Option for Compatible Gaming Setups
A wired network can help avoid problems caused by weak Wi-Fi coverage or wireless congestion. Compatibility depends on whether the console, dock or host device supports a USB Ethernet adapter.
For Nintendo Switch or Switch OLED, connect through a compatible dock or USB-A host connection. Functionality may be limited to Ethernet depending on the console, dock and system software. This USB-A model does not connect directly to the USB-C port of a Switch Lite.
Optional 5V Auxiliary Power
The hub normally receives operating power through the computer’s USB-A port. When using power-demanding USB devices, its auxiliary DC input can accept a compatible 5V power supply to provide additional power to connected peripherals.
Before purchasing a replacement power supply, verify the required connector dimensions, polarity and electrical rating from the physical product label or applicable UGREEN documentation.
- Recommended auxiliary input: 5V DC, up to 2A
- External power supply and power cable are not included
- The input does not charge the connected laptop
- Do not connect a 9V, 12V or unspecified power supply
Important Usage Information
USB data, not fast charging The three USB-A ports are primarily intended for data and peripherals. They are not USB Power Delivery ports and are not designed to fast-charge laptops.
Power-demanding storage Multiple hard drives or high-power accessories may exceed the power available from the host USB port. Use suitable auxiliary power where required.
Not a router or modem The adapter adds an Ethernet interface but does not generate internet access, distribute Wi-Fi or replace a router, modem or network subscription.
Not a PoE adapter The RJ45 port is for network data. The product is not specified to receive or supply Power over Ethernet.
Simple Connection Process
Connect the hub 1 Insert the integrated USB-A plug into a USB data port on the computer.
Add Ethernet 2 Connect an RJ45 cable from the hub to a router, modem or network switch.
Add USB devices 3 Connect up to three compatible USB peripherals or storage devices.
Install if required 4 Allow the operating system to detect the adapter or install the correct driver where needed.

Questions buyers ask.
Is this a USB-A or USB-C hub?
This model connects to the host computer through an integrated USB-A 3.0 male plug. It does not connect directly to a USB-C-only laptop without a separate compatible adapter.
Does it provide Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000Mbps network-link modes. A USB 3.0 host port, Cat5e or higher cable, Gigabit router or switch and suitable network configuration are required for a Gigabit connection.
Will my internet speed become 1000Mbps?
Not necessarily. 1000Mbps is the maximum Ethernet link rate. Internet speed remains limited by the broadband plan, router, network traffic, server, USB connection and computer performance.
Does each USB port provide 5Gbps?
The three USB ports and Ethernet function share the bandwidth of the single upstream USB 3.0 connection. Up to 5Gbps is a theoretical interface rate, not a dedicated speed for each port.
Can the USB ports charge my devices?
They can provide standard USB power within the available power budget, but they are primarily data ports and do not support USB Power Delivery or guaranteed fast charging.
What is the DC power input used for?
The optional 5V DC input can provide additional power to connected USB peripherals when the computer’s USB port cannot supply enough power. It does not charge the host laptop.
Is the 5V power supply included?
No. The external power supply and cable are not included. Verify the required voltage, polarity and connector dimensions before connecting a separately purchased supply.
Does the adapter need a driver?
Many modern Windows, macOS and ChromeOS versions recognise it automatically. Older Windows versions and certain Linux or macOS configurations may require a compatible AX88179A network driver.
Will it work with a modern MacBook?
It connects directly only to MacBook models equipped with a USB-A data port. USB-C-only MacBook models require a separate compatible USB-C-to-USB-A adapter, which is not included.
Is it compatible with Nintendo Switch?
It may provide wired Ethernet when connected through a compatible Nintendo Switch or Switch OLED dock with a suitable USB-A host port. Available USB-hub functions depend on the console, dock and system software. It does not connect directly to a Switch Lite USB-C port.
Can I connect it directly to a Fire TV Stick?
No. The hub uses a full-size USB-A host plug and is not designed for direct connection to a Fire TV Stick. A specialised powered OTG arrangement would be required, and compatibility is not guaranteed.
Is an Ethernet cable included?
No. A standard RJ45 Ethernet cable must be purchased or supplied separately.
