2. Slow Network Speed:
   • Verify that your router/modem and internet service plan support Gigabit speeds (1000 Mbps).
   • Ensure you are using a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. Older Cat5 cables may limit speeds.
   • Check for any background applications or downloads consuming bandwidth.
   • Test the connection speed directly from your router to confirm external network performance.
3. Adapter Not Recognized:
   • Ensure your device's operating system is up to date.
   • Try connecting the adapter to a different USB-C port or a different compatible device to determine if the issue is with the adapter or the original device's port.
