AXAGON ADE-25R, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet USB-A network card
AXAGON ADE-25R, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet USB-A network card
The AXAGON network card serves as an external interface for connecting a computer or laptop to a high-speed wired network via a standard USB-A port. This compact LAN adapter solves the problem of modern, thin devices lacking a classic RJ-45 network connector or fully replaces a damaged internal network card. Its robust aluminium casing provides reliable mechanical protection for the internal components and efficient heat dissipation during intensive data transfer. The design, with a firmly attached 15cm cable, makes it easy to handle in tight spaces next to your computer, and at just 26g, this device is an easily portable travel accessory.
Key features of the AXAGON ADE-25R, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet USB-A network card

- Plug and Play technology enables automatic installation in Windows 8.1 and newer
- Powered directly from the USB bus with no external source needed
- Device supports Wake-on-LAN remote wake-up in several modes
- Two LEDs indicate network activity
- Fixed cable is 15cm long with a straight connector
Fast network connection
This adapter transforms a standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 port into a high-speed Ethernet port, supporting transfer speeds of up to 2.5Gb/s. The device works with auto-detection of speeds in the 10/100/1000/2500Mb/s range, which ensures seamless integration into various types of network infrastructures. Furthermore, support for the IEEE 802.3bz standard enables high-speed data transmission over distances of up to 100m using standard Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables. This lets you upgrade your network infrastructure without needing to install expensive modern wiring.
Reduced processor load and smooth operation
The integrated Realtek RTL8156B chipset includes advanced hardware features that significantly reduce the load on your computer's main processor. Support for the IPv4/IPv6 packet Checksum Offload Engine ensures checksums are calculated directly in the network card's hardware. TCP Large Send Offload versions 1 and 2 and Jumbo frame support also contribute to efficient network traffic processing. This allows the computer to maintain high computing performance even when downloading large files.
Advanced power management features
The device uses modern power-saving technologies that reduce energy consumption during inactivity or low network load. The IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard automatically reduces the adapter's power consumption when no data is being transferred. Supported power management standards include Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI), Link Power Management, and Microsoft Always On Always Connected. These mechanisms help to conserve the connected laptop's battery life when working on the go.
Remote computer wake-up
The adapter supports a wide range of features for remotely turning on or waking up a computer via the network interface. You can use Wake-on-LAN modes by detecting a Magic Packet, a Microsoft Wakeup Frame, or a link status change. RealWoW! technology lets you wake up your computer remotely via the internet, which simplifies device management. In addition, support for the ECMA-393 standard enables a sleeping host's network connection to be managed by a proxy server.
Simple setup with no installation required
With full support for Plug and Play and Hot Plug technologies, setting up the adapter is very fast and requires no expert knowledge. In Windows operating systems from version 8.1 onwards, driver installation is completely automatic upon connection to a USB port, with no need to search online. Power is supplied directly via the computer's USB bus, so there is no need to carry an additional power adapter. Two integrated LEDs clearly display the current connection status and network activity.
Wide compatibility and durable design
The aluminium casing reliably protects the internal electronics from bumps and mechanical damage during daily transport in a laptop bag. The network card is compatible with Windows, Windows Server, macOS, and Linux operating systems, ensuring its universal use across different platforms. Backwards compatibility with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 interfaces allows connection even to older types of desktop computers. The compact dimensions of 64×24×14mm make it easy to store in a pocket or small case.
