Hi everyone,

Because my laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15ARE05) does not have a ethernet connection, I recently bought a TP-Link UE306 USB (3.0) Ethernet adapter. However, this does not work properly on my laptop, whereas it does work on other laptops around in the house, so the network or the adapter itself should not be the issue. Whenever I plug it in my laptop, it starts trying to switch from WiFi to Ethernet, but it 'kicks out' the adapter after a couple of seconds and switches back to WiFi again. The white light on the device starts flickering, but goes out after a couple of seconds when I plug it in. In the meantime, my internet connection is gone for a couple of seconds. If I keep the adapter in, it will start trying to establish an Ethernet connection every now and then (the white light starts flickering), but it doesn't succeed in doing so. Only when I plug it in and out a lot of times, it sometimes will work, so then I have a stable connection, but in most cases, I do not manage to get proper internet via Ethernet. I have tried everything I could find on the internet (updating drivers, reinstalling drivers manually, managing the USB power management setting, going into the BIOS, etc.) but nothing works. Could anyone help me out! It would help a lot! Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Willem Mu
