So are my key board and touch pad. So I have to use external mouse and external keyboard, which means that there is no spare USB port to plug in my phone when I need to transfer images, videos or audio clips. I had to disconnect the keyboard and use the phone and reconnect the keyboard after that. So I purchased a USB hub which has four USB 2 ports. That sorted out the shortage of USB ports.\u00a0I was using desktop computer earlier, with LAN cable for my up to 200 MBPS fiber internet router. But the laptop has no LAN port and Wi Fi internet gives only a speed of around 40 MBPS. So I decided to purchase a USB to LAN converter. I got this USB 3 to Gigabit LAN Converter and plugged in to the USB 2 hub.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6371\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/USB-3-to-Gigabit-LAN-Converter-1024x557-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1241\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/USB-3-to-Gigabit-LAN-Converter-1024x557-1.jpg 1241w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/USB-3-to-Gigabit-LAN-Converter-1024x557-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/USB-3-to-Gigabit-LAN-Converter-1024x557-1-1024x557.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/techworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/USB-3-to-Gigabit-LAN-Converter-1024x557-1-768x418.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1241px) 100vw, 1241px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The LAN cable was used to connect it to the internet router.<\/p>\n<p>USB 3 can be identified by the blue colour within the USB connector, while USB 2 has a white colour within the connector.
