Connecting Aspire S5 to Ethernet network.

Fernand

The Aspire S5 cannot be connected through a cable to a network - no Ethernet port. I have seen that USB/Ethernet adapters are on the market. Would any one of these work? Is there one that would be recommended?

 

Thank you

The Acer Asix USB Ethernet dongles model AX88772B is the only NIC I found to network boot, such as PXE boot. If you only intend to have network connection once your logged into the OS then Startech NIC will work. You want to make sure you can get the driver for the NIC that matches your OS before ordering. I actually have one and once the driver is installed it works great, and so far its worked on every device I've used it with. Let me know if you want the exact model of the NIC I'm using. I found Acer products can be a pain to find compatible NICs and drivers. Hope this helps.
