FAQ

• Q: Will I get 2.5Gbps speed on any network?
• A: You can reach up to 2.5Gbps (2500Mbps) when your router/switch and cabling support 2.5GbE; it is also backward compatible with 1GbE/100Mbps/10Mbps networks.
• Q: Does it work in a USB 2.0 port?
• A: It will work, but USB 2.0 will limit maximum throughput; a USB 3.0/3.2 port is recommended for full 2.5GbE performance.
• Q: What Ethernet cable do I need?
• A: 2.5GbE is designed to work with Cat5e or higher cable (up to 100m), paired with a 2.5GbE-capable router/switch.
• Q: Do I need to install drivers?
• A: Driver installation may be required on older operating systems or kernel versions; some macOS features may require a driver.
