Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Community and Thank you for posting your query.
Sorry for the Inconvenience caused, I understand you are facing issues connecting the Ethernet adapter to your dell laptop.
Hi, i read your article on usb Ethernet adapters and are having som problems. I bought the Asix ax 88772 usb 2.0 Ethernet adapter but cant get it to work on my computer. I run windows 10 64bit home edition on a lenovo yoga 710 core i7 ultrabook. I have tried updating drivers but no luck.
Please answer the below questions to assist you better.
1. Did you try connecting it to different USB port?
2. Are you facing any issues connecting Ethernet cable directly to dell laptop?
You may connect the Ethernet cable directly to the laptop and install all the pending updates to check if it helps.
You may connect the Surface Ethernet adapter to different USB port and check if it helps.
