Resolució de problemes

• Sense connexió de xarxa:
  • Ensure all cables (USB-C and Ethernet) are securely connected.
  • Verifiqueu que el vostre encaminador/mòdem funciona correctament i que us proporciona connexió a Internet.
  • Comproveu la configuració de xarxa de l'ordinador per assegurar-vos que l'adaptador Ethernet estigui habilitat.
  • Prova de connectar l'adaptador a un altre port USB-C del dispositiu.
  • Reinicieu l'ordinador i els equips de xarxa.
• Velocitat de xarxa lenta:
  • Ensure you are using a CAT5e or CAT6 (or higher) Ethernet cable. Older or damaged cables can limit speed.
