USB to Ethernet Adapter
USB to Ethernet adapters are designed to quickly allow networking on a computer without an Ethernet port. The adapter converts a standard USB port on your computer into an Ethernet port, which allows communication at the USB 2.0's speed of 480 Mbps.
Windows 7 recognizes most USB to Ethernet adapters and automatically installs all required drivers, so you do not need to install any software yourself.
Instructions
- Plug the USB to Ethernet adapter into an available USB port on your computer. Windows 7 automatically recognizes and installs all drivers for it.
- Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the adapter.
- Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your modem, or into a numbered Ethernet port on the router connected to the Internet.
- Power on your modem and router. Windows 7 automatically recognizes the connection and allows you to connect to the Internet.
