The Edimax EU-4306 series adaptor supports USB 3.0 and the newest specification of the USB standard that specifies a maximum data transmission speed of 5Gbps. The USB 3.0 enables the full capacity of 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet to be reached through an existing USB port with no need to install a Gigabit Ethernet card. For Ultrabook's or a MacBook Air with no Ethernet port, use the USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter for simple plug-and-play Gigabit Ethernet network connection capability.

Support for jumbo frames can offer dramatic improvements in network performance and raise effective bandwidth
The EU-4306 incorporates a power saving feature to reduce power consumption by up to 35% when there is no Ethernet activity, reducing costs and contributing to a better environment
Supports wake-on-LAN function
Jumbo frames up to 4000bytes
