Windows Update Ethernet Adapter Drivers

I just plugged things in and it worked. The bios is simple enough to navigate. It was able to update all of its own drivers through Windows update. Make sure to follow the QR code on the box to get a PDF of the manual; the quick-start guide that's included in the box is pretty inadequate. (Doesn't tell you which DIMM slots to start with, or how to access the m.2 ports.)

Among several NUC's at home, I replaced a 5th gen NUC with this 13th gen model. It serves as a media center for my music and photo collection, hence the 1 TB SSD and 16 GB memory. For those unfamiliar with the Intel NUC product line, they are small (4x4), very quiet, well-engineered and supported by a three-year warranty. Over the years, I have installed dozens for customers and not a single one has failed so far. The performance is impressive. The clip that keeps the power cord from inadvertently being yanked out is a fairly recent and useful addition. Intel has excellent documentation (assembly instructions, product specs) that I recommend. During installation of Windows 11, neither the wired Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi adapter were recognized which required an Ethernet-to-USB adapter. Others may add the network drivers during installation. Installing the Intel Driver & Support Assistant gets the optimal BIOS, firmware and drivers in place. Now that Intel has sold the NUC line to Asus, I hope that they will continue the development and support of this great product.

It works fine obviously if drivers are always update. I have had this adapter since three years ago. The only problem sometimes are the updates but works fine. StarTech is definitely an excellent brand for me.

If you don't have a built-in Ethernet adapter, this gets the job done. Windows automatically identified and connected to the adapter. I was successfully on the Ethernet within a few seconds.

Works fine with Windows and Mac. This adapter can basically max out a gigabit Ethernet connection. I have it connected to a USB port on the back of my monitor so that a single cable gets me not only power and video, but also a better internet connection.

We had an issue with an old adapter for a 3rd monitor Setup after a recent Windows Update. After we could never get it to work consistently and 2 different Staff setups. After installation of the StarTech Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter we have had no more issues. Works Great! You should purchase and purchase from B&H Photo!! No one is better than B&H!!!!

I have a MacBook Pro dual-booted with OS 10.9 and Windows 8.1 Update 1. This adapter works on both, without any issues. The manufacturer has the latest drivers available on their website.

...After downloading the drivers needed to run it with Windows 7.....

Not much to say, it's a USB to Ethernet adapter. Works exactly like you would want it to.

It works like it should. On windows 10 immediately, on 7 it takes some time for the is to find the drivers but then it works also.
