Note for Windows 10 users: Drivers for the USB3-E1000, the USBC-E1000, and USB3-HUB3ME (V1) are pre-installed in Windows 10, and there is no need to download drivers. Just plug in your adapter, wait a moment while the driver is set up, then access the network. If you have any problems with this, please contact us at support@plugable.com.
Click one of the buttons below to see drivers for that platform.
