UGREEN CR111 — USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
The UGREEN CR111 is a compact, plug-and-play USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter that instantly adds a wired network port to any device with a standard USB-A connection. Whether your laptop lacks a built-in Ethernet port, your existing network card is damaged, or you simply want a more stable and faster connection than Wi-Fi can offer, the CR111 delivers full 1000Mbps Gigabit speeds over a USB 3.0 bus in a package small enough to carry anywhere.
Powered by the trusted AX88179 chipset, the CR111 supports the full 10/100/1000Mbps speed range, automatically negotiating the fastest available connection speed with your network hardware. Over USB 3.0's 5Gbps bus, the adapter delivers wired Gigabit performance that eliminates the lag, packet loss, and interference that can plague wireless connections — ideal for online gaming, HD and 4K video streaming, large file transfers, video conferencing, and any task where a stable, fast, and consistent connection matters.
The adapter is truly plug-and-play on the most widely used platforms — Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 8, Chrome OS, and Nintendo Switch all work without any driver installation, making setup as simple as plugging in and connecting an Ethernet cable. Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED users benefit directly from this adapter, replacing the console's wireless connection with a stable wired alternative for smoother online gaming and faster download speeds. Driver installation is required for Windows XP/7/Vista, macOS, and Linux, with drivers easily available from UGREEN's official website.
The compact ABS housing measures just 10cm in length with an integrated short cable, keeping the adapter unobtrusive on a desk or in a bag. LED link and activity indicators provide a clear visual status of the network connection at a glance. USB-powered operation requires no external power supply or adapter. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports ensures the adapter works across a wide range of older and newer devices, though Gigabit speeds require a USB 3.0 port.
For Lebanese professionals, students, gamers, and everyday users who need a reliable wired network connection without a built-in Ethernet port, the UGREEN CR111 is a compact, proven, and genuinely versatile solution.
