Setup Guide
Connecting the Adapter
- Locate an available USB-C port on your device (laptop, tablet, or smartphone).
- Insert the USB-C connector of the uni adapter firmly into the USB-C port of your device.
- Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (CAT6 or higher recommended for 1Gbps speeds) to your router, wall outlet, or Ethernet switch.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port on the uni adapter.
- The adapter is driver-free and should be recognized automatically by most compatible operating systems (Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Linux, Android).

Operation
Achieving Optimal Performance
- For maximum speed (1Gbps), ensure your Ethernet cable is CAT6 or higher and your network infrastructure (router, modem) supports Gigabit speeds.
- The adapter provides a more stable connection compared to Wi-Fi, which is beneficial for activities requiring consistent bandwidth such as large file transfers, online gaming, and high-definition streaming.
- Monitor the LED indicators on the RJ45 port: a flashing light typically indicates data transfer, while a constant light indicates power.

Care and Maintenance
- Keep the adapter clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
- Do not bend or pull the cable excessively to prevent damage to the braided nylon and internal wiring.
- Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No network connection | Adapter not properly connected; Ethernet cable issue; Device driver issue (rare for driver-free); Network settings. | Ensure both USB-C and RJ45 connections are secure. Try a different Ethernet cable. Restart your device and router. Check network settings on your device. |
| Slow connection speed | Ethernet cable quality; Network congestion; Router/modem limitations. | Use a CAT6 or higher Ethernet cable. Reduce network activity from other devices. Check your internet service provider's speed and your router's capabilities. |
| Adapter gets warm | Normal operation; High data transfer. | The aluminum casing is designed for heat dissipation. This is normal during operation, especially with high data transfer. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect and allow it to cool. |
| Device not recognizing adapter | Incompatible device; Faulty USB-C port. | Verify your device is listed as compatible. Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your device or another compatible device to rule out a faulty port. |
