All StarTech.com product IDs can be identified by a combination of letters and numbers. For example, such as USB2VGAE3 or USB32VGAEH. Typically, the product ID can be found on the unit itself, but it can also be found on the packaging it came in. Ethernet Controller ICs designed for today’s enterprise and cloud-scale data centers, NFV, machine learning, and NVMe-oF.

When you connect your Mac to another device via Ethernet, the highest possible speed is negotiated automatically. The speed depends on the capabilities of the device and the Ethernet cable. For example, if the device that you connect to is 10 Gbps-capable — and the cable you use can support the speed — your Mac and the device can transfer data at 10 Gbps.

Learn how the type of cable that you use can affect Ethernet speeds in the table below. The speeds shown are for cables up to 100 meters (328 feet) in length, unless otherwise specified.

  • When you use Windows via Boot Camp on your Mac, it's best to leave your Ethernet port speed set to Autosense. If you configure the link speed manually in the Network and Internet Control Panel within Windows, you might get Ethernet speeds that reach a maximum of 1 Gbps.
  • If the data transfer speeds between your Mac and another device connected through Ethernet are lower than you expect, first make sure that you're using a supported cable type and length. Then check with the device's manufacturer to make sure its firmware is up to date.

Note for Windows 10 users: Drivers for the USB3-HUB3ME are pre-installed in Windows 10, and there is no need to download drivers. Just plug in your adapter, wait a moment while the driver is set up, then access the network. If you have any problems with this, please contact us at support@plugable.com.

Please note these drivers are currently only applicable to the new, v2 (October 2018 and later) USB3-HUB3ME. If you are looking for drivers for our ASIX-based Ethernet adapters, please find them here: https://plugable.com/drivers/network/

Click one of the buttons below to see drivers for that platform.

Windows

If you wish to pre-install drivers before your adapter arrives, just download and run the applicable package below:

After downloading, simply double-click on the setup.exe file to begin installation. You will receive a confirmation that the process has begun, and another upon successful completion- this should take less than a minute on most systems.

Note: ARM-based Windows 8/8.1 tablets such as the Microsoft Surface RT do not have drivers for the RTL8153 built in. Realtek does not provide a Surface RT compatible driver for installation.

Windows PC’s with internet access should automatically download and install drivers from Windows Update.

Mac

While it should not be required as the Realtek drivers are built into macOS, if you would like to install the Realtek 8153 driver on macOS 10.6 through 10.14, download the driver from the link below:

  • Mac OS X Universal Binary Driver (DMG file format)
  • For Mac OS X 10.6-10.14
Linux

Linux kernels 3.8 and earlier require rebuild of kernel module from source. Recent distributions running 3.9 or later should have the driver built-into kernel.

Chrome OS

Chrome OS supported with latest software updates installed. The drivers are included as part of the kernel used by Chrome OS.
