Frequently Asked Questions - U336002GB Tripp Lite

How to install the Tripp Lite U336002GB network adapter?

Before plugging in the adapter, insert the included CD or download the driver from the Tripp Lite website for your operating system. Run the installation, then plug the adapter into a USB 3.0 port. Reboot if necessary. In Device Manager (Windows), verify that the ASIX AX88179 adapter appears under Network adapters.

Does this adapter work with a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but performance will be limited to USB 2.0 speed (480 Mbps instead of 5 Gbps). For optimal performance, use a USB 3.0 port.

Can I use both Ethernet ports simultaneously?

Yes, each port can be connected to an independent network. However, do not connect both ports to the same network, as this may cause network loops and performance issues. You can also use one port to connect your computer and the other to share the connection with another device.

How to activate the Wake-on-LAN function?

Make sure the adapter is powered via the Micro-USB port if the computer is off. In the operating system, enable Wake-on-LAN in the network adapter properties. Send a Magic Packet from another device on the network to wake the computer.

Is the adapter compatible with macOS and Linux?

Yes, the adapter supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download the appropriate drivers from the Tripp Lite website for your operating system. On macOS, the driver is usually built-in; on Linux, a specific driver may be needed.

What is the maximum Jumbo Frame size supported?

The adapter supports Jumbo Frames up to 4 KB. To enable this feature, configure the MTU in the advanced settings of the adapter on your operating system.

Can I connect the adapter to a USB hub?

It is recommended to plug the adapter directly into a USB port on your computer to avoid bandwidth issues. Using a USB hub can reduce performance and cause instability.

How to power the adapter when the computer is off?

Use the Micro-USB port on the adapter to connect to an external power source (5V USB charger). This maintains power for Wake-on-LAN functions even when the computer is powered off.

Does the adapter work with virtualization (VMware, VirtualBox)?

Yes, the adapter is generally recognized by hypervisors. You may need to pass the USB port to the virtual machine or use network sharing mode. Refer to your virtualization software documentation for details.

What to do if my computer does not recognize the adapter?

Check that the driver is properly installed. Try a different USB port. If the problem persists, download the latest driver from www.tripplite.com/support. Reboot the computer. If nothing works, contact Tripp Lite technical support.
