Keep in mind that the port supports HDMI 2.0, so the maximum resolution and refresh rate it can run is 4k at 60Hz.

You can use a regular HDMI cable like the Amazon Basic HDMI cable ( $17/ £12 on Amazon) and plug it in. You can check UGREEN branded USB Ethernet Products.If you have the 14- or 16-inch M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro or Mac Studio, they have a full-sized HDMI 2.0 port. Now, my MacBookPro is also able to connect to the internet via my UGREEN USB Ethernet Adapter directly! I checked the chipset name on System Report and I see the chipset name is AX88179.Īfter few search, I found the chipset support page and I downloaded driver from Now time is to install the chipset driver to macOS Big Sur. $ csrutil enable -without kextĪfter csrutil command, I typed my username and password which one has Administrator access and I rebooted my Apple Silicon. I booted my Mac on recovery mode and I jumped to Terminal and run the command below. I need to disable System Integrity settings without kext. Kext files are essential drivers for macOS “Kext” stands for Kernel Extension kext files “extend” Mac OS X’s kernel, the core part of the operating system, by providing additional code to be loaded when your computer boots. I know, MacOS needs a driver and some kernel limitations for some additional hardware. Today, I need to connect my Apple MacBookPro Silicon to the internet via the same USB adapter but macOS doesn’t like this. The ethernet adapter is driver-free and it works on Windows and Linux perfectly.

I decided to buy UGREEN USB Ethernet Adapter from Amazon. In 2019, I need to connect my Dell XPS13 to my Juniper SRX-110 via ethernet cable but on my Dell, it doesn’t have any ethernet port on it.
