Windows 10: USB C to Ethernet Adapter Not Working

A few days ago I bought a Type-C to Ethernet adapter, and at first it worked. It appeared as CD D: NX7202, and I downloaded a driver of the same name. Then it started to fail, working intermittently. I was tired of this. I looked up the difference between when it worked and when it didn't, and it turns out it was a driver called NX USB2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter. I was tired of it working whenever I wanted, so I uninstalled it so it would reinstall correctly like any other driver. The problem is that it didn't install.

Hello ,

Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

Firstly, could you let me know the specific system version (OS Build)? You can check it by pressing Win + X > System > Windows specifications, click “Copy” and paste it in your next reply.

You can follow the steps below:

1. I suggest that you check if the Ethernet adapter is enabled in the Device Manager. To do this, follow these steps:
   
   1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
      
   2. Expand the Network adapters section.
      
   3. Look for the Ethernet adapter and check if it is enabled. If it is disabled, right-click on it and select Enable device.
      
2. If the Ethernet adapter is already enabled, try updating the driver for the Ethernet adapter. To do this, follow these steps:
   
   1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
      
   2. Expand the Network adapters section.
      
   3. Right-click on the Ethernet adapter and select Update driver.
      
   4. Select Search automatically for updated driver software and follow the on-screen instructions.
      
3. If updating the driver does not resolve the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Ethernet adapter driver. To do this, follow these steps:
   
   1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
      
   2. Expand the Network adapters section.
      
   3. Right-click on the Ethernet adapter and select Uninstall device.
      
   4. Restart your computer.
      
   5. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver for the Ethernet adapter.
      
4. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the network settings on your Windows 11 computer. To do this, follow these steps:
   
   1. Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
      
   2. Click on Network & internet.
      
   3. Scroll down and click on Network reset.
      
   4. Click on Reset now and follow the on-screen instructions.
      

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

USB to Ethernet adapter

I think the system needs some time to upload the driver for the USB to Ethernet Adapter after plugged into the USB port. I have tried in two days to successfully use it to link up online via the adapter. Thank you for your advice although I have tried the mentioned steps before by plug and play. Fortunately, after several hours of using WIFI connection to upload the driver automatically by the Win8.1 OS, it works!
