1. Introduction

The LevelOne USB-0401 Gigabit USB Network Adapter allows you to connect to the internet

easily through the built-in USB port on your laptop. This is an ideal solution for MacBook or other

Windows computers that may have wireless built-in but don’t come with an Ethernet port.

Sometimes you need to physically connect to a network cable to help transfer files or access

secure information. The USB-0401 easily does the job, all through your USB port.

The USB-0401 is USB 2.0 and 3.0 compliant. It also follows the Ethernet standards set by the

IEEE 802.3/3u and 802.3ab, allowing you to take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to

1000Mbps. This provides a strong backbone for any high-speed broadband connection to the

internet as well as fast speeds for the Local Area Network file transfers.

This makes the USB-0401 the best choice for reliability, efficiency and standard compliance.
