Windows PC’s with internet access should automatically download and install drivers from Windows Update.
A driver CD-ROM* is also provided in the packaging with the product. *Please note that Windows 8/8.1 driver is not loaded on the CD, however it can be downloaded from the link above.
macOS
For macOS 10.6 through 10.14.x
To install the ASIX 88179 driver on macOS 10.6 through 10.14.x ONLY, download the driver from the link below:
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer only:
As of macOS 10.15 Catalina, we no longer officially support ASIX USB Ethernet adapters in macOS due to a cumbersome installation process that does not meet our expectations, but, ultimately, is functional for most customers. These changes are a result of Apple’s implementation of DriverKit and changed requirements for drivers and installation in 10.15. For more information, please find our blog post here.
Linux kernels 3.8 and earlier require rebuild of kernel module from source. Recent distributions running 3.9 or later should have the driver built-into kernel.
Chrome OS
Chrome OS supported with latest software updates installed. The drivers are included as part of the kernel used by Chrome OS.
