Amazon Basics USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (10-Pack) – Windows & macOS

Overview

Turn a USB 3.0 port into a reliable wired Gigabit Ethernet link with the Amazon Basics USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. This compact, black dongle fits neatly into laptop or desktop USB ports and provides a fast, stable connection to a router, modem, or network switch. The 10-pack makes it easy to outfit workspaces, home offices, or classrooms with a straightforward wired option when Wi-Fi isn’t required or available.

What makes it useful

• Gigabit Ethernet delivered through USB 3.0 for high-speed wired connectivity
• Supports IPv4/IPv6 with COE to help reduce CPU load on your computer
• Wake-on-LAN compatibility helps you wake devices remotely when needed
• Energy‑Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) helps save power on supported networks

• Compact, portable design travels with you between home, work, or school

Compatibility and setup

Designed for Windows 8.1 or newer and macOS, this adapter offers broad compatibility for laptops, desktops, and workstations. It does not list support for Smart TVs or gaming consoles, so consider dedicated network adapters for those devices if needed.

• 10-pack packaging means you can share with teammates or reserve extras for future use
• Simple USB 3.0 plug-in connection; no complex installation required

Real-world scenarios

Use it to upgrade a slow or congested Wi‑Fi setup—connect a laptop directly to a router for streaming, file transfers, or videoconferencing with a wired backbone. In a home office, keep a spare adapter on hand for new devices without reconfiguring your network. The compact form keeps a low profile when plugged in at a desk or in a travel bag.

What’s in the box

Each pack includes ten compact adapters, each designed to stay discreet in a USB port or drawer until needed. The 10-pack helps you outfit multiple devices or share a spare with colleagues.
