I recently needed an Ethernet adapter for my laptop, which has USB and WiFi (of course) but no Ethernet. Somebody offered me an. I figured Windows would offer the driver automatically, after which I could use the computer in places where only wired networks were available.
Well, I plugged it in, and no such luck! Windows 10 Enterprise x64 recognized the hardware, but said it couldn't find a driver for it. I tried searching online (connected over Wi-Fi), and found a bunch of people by somebody using the alias “Tnkgrl.” Unfortunately, the is no longer pointing to anything!
I also searched Apple’s site, but couldn’t find any Windows drivers: Maybe they’re included in Bootcamp but not available for download? Anybody know how to get this device working in Windows? I did a little more hunting online and found to a blog that said they'd found the driver for the chipset in the adapter, and convinced it to work. I followed a variant on their instructions, and it worked for me too.
Here are the steps I used:. Plug in the adapter while the computer is running. Check Device Manager (you can get there by right-clicking Start). You should see a listed Apple device with a little yellow exclamation mark next to it, saying Windows can't load the driver. Go to and find the driver for your OS.
I used for 64-bit Windows 10. Note that this is the actual driver download, not a Setup program. Download the.ZIP file. If you use a browser that adds the 'mark of the web' (IE or Edge for sure, maybe others), right-click the downloaded ZIP, go to Properties, click Unblock (either a button or checkbox), and hit OK. Unpack the ZIP archive. You should see a folder containing four files: a.SYS file (the driver), a.CAT file (the WHQL signature), a.INF file (the driver information), and a Readme.txt.
Don't do anything with these files directly, but remember where they are. Go back to Device Manager, right-click the device entry that needs the driver, and choose Update Driver Software. Choose Browse my computer for driver software.
Choose Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. If there's a Have Disk. Button in the lower right, click it. Otherwise, click the top entry in the list (should be something like 'All devices') and hit OK, then click Have Disk. On the next screen. In the box labeled 'Copy manufacturer's files from:', type in or browse to the location where you unpacked the.ZIP file, then hit OK.
Choose the option ASIX AX88772A USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter (on my system, it is the second option listed). You will get an 'Update Driver Warning' or similar saying that Windows can't verify that the driver will work with your hardware, which may cause problems. Click 'Yes' anyhow, for this and any other prompts to confirm that you want to install the driver. You should now have a working Ethernet adapter! In Device Manager, it will be listed as a 'ASIX AX88772A USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter' under the 'Network adapters' category, and there should be no exclamation marks or anything like that. There you go! You can connect to a wired network, and it should work fine.
The original instructions were for Windows 8 x64, and I can verify that it works on Win10 x64; I haven't tested it on other versions but the same steps should work and the download site lists drivers for tons of operating systems.

This is for Windows 7, but should work for Windows 10 A quick search on the, I was able to find instructions on downloading the correct driver. I have condensed them here for quick reference:. It will say that it's not supported, but the.inf file does include the requisite driver entries.
Unzip the drivers to a temporary folder on your hard drive (preferably your Desktop so it's easy to find). Connect the adaptor to the thunderbolt port. Reboot Windows Windows should automatically detect the adaptor now and install it. You may need to point the installer at the location where you unzipped the drivers.
If that doesn't work, you will need to do this through Device Manager. Go to Start Control Panel Hardware & Sound and open Device Manager. Click the name of your computer at the top of the device tree. Click Action at the top of the window and choose Add Legacy Hardware.
Click Next. Select 'Install hardware that I manually select.' .
Choose Network Adaptors. Choose 'Have Disk'. Browse to the location of the drivers you unzipped earlier. Click the.inf file. Select Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet from the list of drivers available. OK and install You may need to reboot again with the adaptor plugged into the Thunderbolt port to finish the job Note: Again, these instructions and driver downloads are for Windows 7. Thought they should work with Windows 10, it is not guaranteed.
If having both OS X and Windows 10 support is important, consider getting a. I have personnaly used this exact adapter on an iMac, a MacBook Pro, a Mac Mini (Dual Boot w/ Win 7) and a Surface Pro 3.
Windows 10 isn't even in public beta at this point. It's a 'technology preview'. Apple doesn't support Windows 10 in boot camp at this point. The Windows 10 preview doesn't work with a lot of stuff at the moment.
If you really want to play with it, install it in VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or something. At least the networking functions will work that way. Setting custom screen resolutions is still difficult if not impossible as it doesn't work with the display drivers in most virtualization packages that provide custom scaling, etc. Feb 15, 2015 8:53 AM.

go in Windows 10 to youre search bar and type - device manager - click on it and go to network adapters. Select broadcom and uinstall the driver. Next cick in the top window on action and scan for hardware changes. The broadcom driver will return and your wifi problem is sloved. Let me know if it doesn't work This does in fact work. Did it today on my MacBook Air and wifi popped up like a charm. Aug 17, 2015 1:46 PM.
I tried that but device manager doesn't show any network adapter. I bought a macbook air just last week and installed windows 10 (education) on it. I see only 'network controller' in device manager. On a related note, I did have problems installing Windows 10 on this macbook. After Bootcamp assistant created the windows install disk on a flash drive, the computer restarted but did not automatically go to the install disk to bbot up. I had to restart it again and hold the option key for it to do that. So I still do not get the bootcamp screen when I startup.
Could my problem be related to that? Sep 22, 2015 7:26 AM. After I installed windows 10 manually, the flash drive that had the install files doesn't show anything.
So if there were any bootcamp drivers installed on it, well I'll never know. In the meantime, my network adapter problem has been solved. I clicked on 'network controllers' and asked it to update the drivers. I chose Broadcom 802.11.n driver (Sam above suggested the broadcom adapter) and so far it has worked.
BTW, I had called apple support (I have a few months of call-in support I guess?) and they said that windows 10 on mac does not support wifi. But here it is! Maybe apple needs to wake up?

Best Answer: Yes, this does allow you to have multiple ethernet interfaces active at the same time. I have, on occasion, had cause to bridge three networks by using the built-in ethernet and a couple of these devices. My only word of caution is that if you have more than one plugged in it is sometimes difficult tell which device is which. The USB Ethernet Adapter does not have it's MAC address printed on it so if you just plug two of them in and go to Network Preferences you don't see which ethernet interface is in which USB slot.
