Hi All,

Bought the  new UE300(UN) through Amazon. 
Wifi connection where the Desktop is located is very slow.

That is the motivation to try this Ethernet adapter.

Desktop PC: Windows 10 with USB3.0 and USB2.0 ports.
 

After connecting the UE300(UN) [USB3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet  Adapter]  to my Windows 10 PC's USB3.0 port, noticed that the White LED is permanently ON.
But it is not connecting to the internet.

 

#1
The Adapter shows "Unidentified Network".

 

For couple of hours, I googled and tried everything that was recommened.
None of the following helped to resolve the issue.

#2
When I run the "Diagnose" on the adapter, it shows the "Doesn't have a valid IP Configuration   Not Fixed".

 

#3

Comand prompt (running as Admin) shows the following:
 

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2:

 

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4160:cc3d:dc50:1c51%10

   Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.28.81

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

 

#4

I tried assigning a static IP address. That is also not working.

#5
ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew doesn't help.

#6
disable/enable of the adapter doesn't work.

#7
Folloing commands don't resolve the issue.
ipconfig /flushdns, netsh winsock reset, netsh int tcp reset

 

#8

Powered down the desktop. Powered down the router. Waited 5 minutes.

Powered on teh router. Waited and powered on the desktop pc.
Doesn't help

 

#9
Tried both the USB3.0 port and USB 2.0 port.

Doesn't help
 

#10

Replaced the  Ethernet cable. Doesn'e help.

 

#11

I have disabled IPv6.

 

#12
I disabled the WiFI adapter and Itried to renew the IP address for teh UE300 using ipconfig,

I saw an error message  "Unable to reach the DHCP server".

I am at a loss. No clue what else I can try.

 

My only remaining option is hitting my head against the wall :) but I know it won't help!

Please help.
