I tried shutting it down in Activity Monitor and reopening from the Applications folder, and the icon reappears but same response.

I am using macOS 10.13.1 that was upgraded from the previous version, not a new install.

In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbs Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbs Gigabit ethernet via USB.

Also works on 10100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.

INCLUDED IN PACKAGE: USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, and Quick Install Guide and Driver CD inside package between paper sleeves.

The complete list of drivers and supported platforms for the AX88178 chip in the Plugable USB2-E1000 is available on the ASIX AX88178 driver download page.

If the network port of the PC was 10100 Fast Ethernet, this adapter will be faster.

If you are interested in more details, please read through this related blog post that covers speed issues pretty extensively.

For Mac users, there is a known conflict with the Android File Transfer Program.

To go with that, we wanted to take a moment to discuss the Gatekeeper security feature introduced back in OS X 10.7 which has gone through some changes in High Sierra that may affect installation of some 3rd party device drivers used in devices from Plugable and other device manufacturers.

For Plugable, the issue will only impact our products which dont have drivers already built-in to macOS, such as our USB Docking Stations, USB Graphics Adapters, and USB Ethernet Adapters.

Essentially this issue can affect any extensions not developed by Apple.

Thankfully if you encounter this, theres a simple process to fix.

This is important as many devices rely on extensions to function properly, and in some circumstances it can look like the software to power a device was installed but the device still doesnt work.

So if it doesnt work immediately, reboot the computer and the extension should load correctly.

Meaning that future extensions that are installed from the same developer should not be prevented by Gatekeeper from loading and should not need to have these steps repeated.

However, software and extensions from other developers will encounter this same issue and you will need to follow these same steps.

Our USB3-HUB3ME and future USB to Ethernet adapters will use Realtek based chipsets that utilize drivers built into macOS.

But if youre installing to dozens or hundreds of Macs, you need a scripting solution.

The spctl master-disable command will work if you enter it prior to installing the driver.

From our experience you need the sudo version of the command (sudo spctl master-disable) though.

After installing, use the sudo spctl master-enable to re-enable.

After installing the driver, you can use the kextload command to force it to load (this works because Gatekeeper prevents it from loading and this forces it to load anyway).

As with the other command, weve found using the sudo version is best.

Full command is sudo kextload PATHTOEXTENSION but youll need to know the path to the extension being blocked.

However I am still unable to use the Plugable USB 3.0 docking station to get use multiple monitors.

Please keep the dock connected to your system (even though not working as expected) send the output of our diagnostic utility PlugDebug to us directly via supportplugable.com This will allow us to examine some log files from your system to help determine the next steps.
