## Questions & Answers

**Q: What chipset does it have? Realtek or Asix?**
A: ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet

**Q: Will this make any usb hard drive available on a home network? Plug & play?**
A: No...You should connect your hard disk to either your PC / Mac and share the folders on your network or you can connect your hard disk to your router (if it has a USB port).

**Q: What if you do not have a CD Port on your computer?**
A: If you use Windows, it will probably install the drivers automatically. If not you can search for AX88179 in google. It's the second result.

**Q: Tried on my Mac - installation failed?**
A: It doesn’t work. You will need a thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor (for early MacBook Air, or whatever Apple specific port is available on your device for newer models)

Seems to be well made, plug and play function, no drivers needed, seems to work well and speedily on my home PC to Router wired connection, as the LAN port of PC has gone faulty, cheaper than buying an internal PCI card or having PC repaired, and apart from it taking up a Rear PC USB port I'm very happy with the performance, would recommend it to replace or add an extra LAN connection to an older PC.

works perfectly well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for everyday use — but not suitable for firewalls, servers or virtualized networking
*by M***. on 24 November 2025*

I bought this adapter to use in a Proxmox cluster while testing pfSense and OPNsense firewall VMs. Although the adapter works and is detected as an ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, I found it could not deliver full gigabit performance under load. On my 900 Mbps internet connection the adapter consistently delivered around 600 Mbps download and ~150 Mbps upload, whereas my Intel PCIe network card in the same setup had no issue reaching the full 900 Mbps both ways. This seems to be a limitation of the ASIX chipset, which uses a lot of CPU and doesn’t perform well when used as a WAN interface or in virtualization or firewall environments. That said, I want to be clear: ✔ For normal home users, laptops, and general wired connections, this adapter is absolutely fine. It installs automatically, works reliably, and provides a stable wired connection for everyday browsing, streaming, or office work. ❌ But for advanced users running: Proxmox / VMware pfSense or OPNsense Server workloads High-speed WAN routing Anything requiring sustained >700 Mbps throughput …this adapter is not the right choice. In these cases, an Intel-based NIC or a 2.5GbE Realtek RTL8156B USB adapter performs much better. Overall, a good value adapter for basic network connectivity, but not suitable for firewall, virtualization, or high-performance networking. Why 4 stars? ✔ Works well for general consumers Most people buying this will use it for laptops, desktops, or temporary wired connections. For that purpose, the adapter works correctly. ✔ Good value It’s inexpensive, plug-and-play, and does what Amazon says for typical users. ✔ Your issue is specific to advanced use cases The performance problem is not something most buyers will ever encounter. USB adapters (especially ASIX) are known to perform poorly under Proxmox/pfSense/OPNsense — but that's outside the intended consumer usage. ✘ But… it's not suitable for high-performance or professional networking So a perfect 5 stars isn’t appropriate either.
