USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter

10/100 Mbps

USB 2.0 brings High-speed Transfer Rates far faster than USB 1.1

NETGEAR's USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter brings blazing speed into your home network.

It gives you true 10/100 Mbps network access and connects your PC to any Ethernet

network through any USB port using proven, standards-based technologies. Just attach

the adapter to an open USB port on either your computer or a USB hub and follow the

on-screen installation instructions. No internal card is required, which means you’re

instantly connected without opening up your PC. Power, Link, LEDs keep you informed

of network activity. Hot swappable and compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 hardware,

it works conveniently with desktop and notebook PCs so you can enjoy the benefits of

networking – sharing your Internet connection, transferring your files, and competing

in multiplayer games.

When connected to USB 2.0 port, this potent adapter connects 10 times faster than USB 1.1 for real 100 Mbps network access. (USB 2.0 is a 480 Mbps technology while USB 1.1 is a 12 Mbps technology, but a 100 Mbps connection will allow network access at a full 100 Mbps, compared to a mere 10 Mbps with USB 1.1.)

Compact, portable size works conveniently with both desktop and notebook PCs without crowding your workspace.

The FA120 easily plugs into the unit. There's no internal card so you’re instantly connected at 10/100 Mbps without opening up your PC. User-friendly software guides you smoothly through installation and configuration.

Compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0 hardware, this adapter allows both Plug and Play and hot swapping capability (where you don’t need to power down your unit). You can alternate ports and cables, yet this versatile adapter will work at the fastest speed possible.

Thorough testing ensures quality and dependable operability, and NETGEAR backs this up with a 5-year limited warranty.
