What should I do if the Ethernet connection speed is slow through the adapter/hub/dock?

The maximum Ethernet speed for most of our devices is 1 Gbps. If you’re using the Ethernet port but the speed is slower than 1 Gbps, the issue may lie in the connected laptop, the Ethernet cable, the router, or the adapter/hub/dock itself. 

Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help locate and resolve the problem.

For the laptop:

• Update your Ethernet driver.

- For a device using a Realtek Ethernet chip, please download the following driver: https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software

- For a device using an ASIX Ethernet chip, please download the following driver:

To download the driver, go to Software & Tools > Drivers > USB Ethernet ICs > AX88179 

• If your laptop is a MacBook with an M1 chip, update to the latest version of macOS
• Try this device with a different laptop and see if the issue persists.

For the ethernet cable:

• Confirm the maximum speed of your Ethernet cable.
• If possible, plug your network cable directly into the Ethernet port of your laptop and see if you get a stable internet connection.
• Try a different Ethernet cable.

For the router:

• Confirm whether or not your router can support a higher Ethernet speed.
• Try a different router.

For the adapter/hub/dock:

• Try with a different device to see whether you can get a faster wired internet connection.
