UE300(UN) USB3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter --> Unidentified Network
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 . . . . . . . . . :

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.
