The package provides the installation files for ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Driver version 1.4.1.0. In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below (the next steps). I have a USB 3.0 AX88179 based Gigabit Ethernet adapter and after searching online, I found many people reporting success with this device under Linux. The driver entered the mainline kernel on version 3.9, but even before that, downloading the drivers from the the ASIX websites, compiling and loading the driver manually should work fine.
- “Windows 8 recognized it immediately and I was up and running.” W. Thompson
- “I have used this product many times now and have found it to be of high quality and works flawlessly. I would recommend it to anyone needing a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter.” Doolin23
Common Uses
- Any Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS laptop lacking a built-in Ethernet port.
- One of a limited set of adapters which works with the Nintendo Switch for faster, low-latency network connections
- Sharing your internet connection to another device from a Windows PC.
- Replacing a damaged Ethernet port without opening a PC case.
- Connecting to faster, more reliable wired networks to avoid reception issues with WiFi.
To maximize network access speeds, select a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Gigabit network adapter if your computer has a USB 3.0 port. USB 2.0 gigabit adapters are limited to maximum speeds of 480 Mbps by the USB 2.0 bus, while USB 3.0 bus allows the USB3-E1000 to realize the full potential of a Gigabit network, since it isn’t limited by the USB bus speed. Testing in the Plugable lab using the iperf application on a local server have yielded speeds up to 890 Mbps. However real-world speeds around 400-600 Mbps are more realistic. When accessing sites on the internet, the bandwidth provided by your Internet service provider will likely determine your ultimate speeds.

FAQ
What do the green and amber LEDs on the Plugable USB3-E1000 indicate?
The green link LED on the Plugable USB3-E1000 is an indication that the Ethernet cable plugged into the adapter is live and it stays steady as long as the live cable is plugged in. The blinking amber activity LED is an indications that data is transferring through the adapter. Both these LEDs will not light up when:
- The adapter is not receiving enough power because it is plugged into a port that does not provide the required 900mA (max) of power.
- The drivers for the adapter have not installed properly or are corrupted.
- The Ethernet Cable plugged in is not live or is faulty.
- The adapter has failed.
Are there any known software conflicts?
macOS 10.15 Catalina not supported at this time. See this page for details: USB Ethernet Adapter not working after macOS Catalina 10.15 Update? We can help!
For Mac users, there is a known conflict with the Android File Transfer Program. Tachosoft airbag resetter v6 4 download.
Are there any known hardware conflicts?
There is known conflict with the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro’s USB 3.0 port and the USB3-E1000. Symptoms include sudden loss of connectivity and failing of transferring files across a network. The current workaround is to use the USB 2.0 port. We are working with ASIX and Lenovo to resolve this known bug.
