UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,400, brand new and sealed, in black. The UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter turns any USB-A port into a wired RJ45 network socket running at up to 100Mbps, using the widely supported ASIX AX88772A chip. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS, and it draws all its power from the USB port, so there is no charger to carry. You can pick one up at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for accountants, NGO field staff, university students and sales teams across Kenya, the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter solves a common problem. Many slim laptops no longer have a network port, and Wi-Fi in a busy Upper Hill office or a shared student hostel can drop at the worst moment. Plug the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter into a spare USB port, run a cable to the router, and you get a steady wired connection for KRA iTax filing, Zoom calls and online exams without the dropouts that crowded wireless channels cause.
Unlike the unbranded adapters sold from street stalls around town, the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter comes from a known accessory maker and carries a 6-month warranty from Mascom International. Customers across Nairobi tell us they buy it to rescue an older laptop with a broken LAN port, or to give a Nintendo Switch a wired line for online play. If you need gigabit speeds on fibre, the faster UGREEN CM209 sits beside it on our shelves. Walk in to test the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter
How much is the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter in Kenya?
The UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter costs KSh 1,400, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, with same-day delivery inside Nairobi. You will not need to buy a charger, because the adapter runs from the USB port. If your internet plan is faster than 100Mbps, the UGREEN CM209 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter costs KSh 2,200, which is KSh 800 more.
Should I buy the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter or the UGREEN CM209 for KSh 2,200?
Choose the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter if your connection runs at 100Mbps or slower, and the UGREEN CM209 if it is faster. The CR110 tops out at 100Mbps over USB 2.0 and costs KSh 1,400. The CM209 reaches 1,000Mbps over USB 3.0, has an aluminium case, and costs KSh 2,200. Home fibre packages at 100Mbps or below, and office desks running email, banking and video calls, do fine on the CR110. Pick the CM209 for large file transfers or gigabit fibre.
Will the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter work with Safaricom, Zuku or Airtel home internet?
Yes, the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter works with any router that has an RJ45 LAN port, whatever the provider. That covers Safaricom Home Fibre and Zuku, plus Airtel Kenya and Telkom routers that offer a LAN socket. Run a network cable from a free port on the router to the adapter, and Windows 10 usually connects within seconds. One tip for Kenyan homes: keep the router on a small UPS, because no adapter can help when a KPLC power cut takes the router down.
Does the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter need a driver?
On Windows 8 and Windows 10, the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter is plug and play and sets itself up the first time you connect it. Older Windows 7, Vista and XP machines may need the driver for its ASIX AX88772A chip, which UGREEN publishes on its website. macOS 10.4 and later, Linux kernel 2.6 and 3.x, and Chrome OS are also supported. If you are unsure, bring your laptop to Mascom International on Kimathi Street and test the connection before you pay.
Can I use the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter with a Nintendo Switch?
Yes, UGREEN lists the Nintendo Switch, Wii and Wii U among the devices the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter supports. On a Switch, plug it into a USB port on the dock, connect a cable from your router, and choose the wired connection option in the internet settings. A cable avoids the lag spikes that a shared home Wi-Fi network can cause during online matches. At 100Mbps it handles online play and game downloads comfortably for most home plans.
Who should buy the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter if you need a dependable wired connection for work, study or gaming on a plan of 100Mbps or less. Students, receptionists, accountants and anyone with an older laptop whose network port has failed fit this profile. Skip it if you move large video files across a local network, run a NAS, or pay for fibre above 100Mbps; the UGREEN CM209 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter suits you better. Skip it too if your laptop has only USB-C ports, unless you add a converter.
Why use the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter when my laptop already has Wi-Fi?
A wired connection through the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter is not affected by walls, distance or interference from neighbouring networks. In crowded apartment blocks, dozens of Wi-Fi networks compete for the same channels, and speeds rise and fall through the evening. A cable gives you the full speed your plan allows, up to the adapter's 100Mbps, and a constant link. That matters for job interviews on video, timed online exams and large uploads that cannot afford to restart halfway.
Does the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter support wake-on-LAN?
Yes, the UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter supports wake-on-LAN, so an IT team can switch a sleeping office computer on over the network. It also handles full-duplex and half-duplex links, Auto MDIX, and both IPv4 and IPv6. Auto MDIX means the adapter detects the cable type itself, so a straight or crossover cable both work. Whether wake-on-LAN works on a given laptop depends on that machine's BIOS settings, so check those before you rely on the feature.
Technical Specifications
Core Network Function
- Fast Ethernet at 10/100Mbps — enough for HD video calls, streaming and everyday browsing on home and office fibre plans up to 100Mbps.
- USB 2.0 interface with a 480Mbps bus — well above the 100Mbps network ceiling, so the USB link never becomes the bottleneck.
- ASIX AX88772A chipset — a widely used network chip, which is why most operating systems recognise the adapter without extra software.
- IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards for 10Base-T and 100Base-T — it speaks the same language as standard routers, switches and wall sockets.
- Full-duplex and half-duplex support — full duplex sends and receives at the same time, keeping video calls smooth while files upload.
- IPv4 and IPv6 support — works on today's networks and stays usable as internet providers move to the newer addressing system.
Compatibility
- Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP — plug and play on Windows 8 and 10, while older versions may need a quick driver download from UGREEN.
- macOS 10.4 and later — suits MacBooks and iMacs that have a USB-A port; Macs with only USB-C need a converter first.
- Linux kernel 2.6.x and 3.x — runs on many Linux desktops and small servers, which helps developers and IT technicians.
- Chrome OS — Chromebooks used in schools and offices get a wired connection without any setup steps.
- Nintendo Switch, Wii and Wii U — gives a console a cable connection for steadier online play and faster game downloads.
Build and Design
- Compact body of about 6.1 x 2.6 x 1.8 cm — small enough to live in a laptop bag pocket every day.
- Powered by the USB port — no external power brick to carry, and nothing extra to plug into the wall socket.
- Status indicator lights — show at a glance whether the network link is live and data is moving, which speeds up troubleshooting.
- Black finish — matches most laptops and desk setups, and hides the scuffs that come with daily travel.
- Auto MDIX — detects whether a straight or crossover cable is attached and adjusts itself, so any standard network cable works.
- Wake-on-LAN — lets an office IT team power on a sleeping computer remotely for updates or overnight backups.
Inclusions and Support
- One UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter — the complete package as UGREEN ships it, sealed in retail packaging.
- Network cable not included — use the patch cable from your router or any standard RJ45 cable you already own.
- Free driver from UGREEN's website — only older Windows versions need it, since Windows 8 and 10 install the adapter automatically.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — you inspect the sealed box before you hand over any money, wherever you are in the country.
Package Contents
The UGREEN CR110 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter arrives brand new and sealed in UGREEN retail packaging. Inside is the adapter itself, ready to plug into any USB-A port. The package does not include a network cable, so use the patch cable that came with your router or bring one along. No power adapter is needed, because the CR110 draws its power from the computer.
