Problems with Ethernet Adapter

[Hasan123]

I recently bought a ethernet adapter for my laptop. But When I tried to use it with my router, It showed the 1st image.
I troubleshooted. then it showed the 2nd one. What does it mean by " valid IP ". What do I have to do now?

I tried restarting the router.

Are you getting an IP address on the adapter/interface? Is DHCP configured or do you have to configure a static IP?

When you take a closer look at the adapter does it say anything about the manufacturer or similar information that would indicate that the driver is properly installed?

After you connect the ethernet adapter to one of the router's ports in the back (if the router has a WAN port on the back, avoid that, use one of the other ones). the adapter should ask the router to give it an IP address, through a protocol called HDCP. 

Once the ethernet adapter has a local IP address, your Windows will use it, or will continue to use the wireless - ethernet is preferred because it's often faster. 

 

If the drivers (if any needed) are properly installed in your Windows, then  you should maybe check the cable between your adapter and the router, and then maybe access the router's management interface and see in its status pages if it detects the ethernet adapter as a device trying to connect to it. 

Maybe check the router's options to see if it's configured to allow ethernet adapters to connect to it, and if it's currently configured to give local IP addresses to ethernet adapters. 

 

The router's management page is usually https:// followed by the first IP, 192.168.0.1  or 192.168.100.1 or 10.0.0.1, something like that. Maybe check stickers and labels  on the router for the address, if you don't know it.

I don't think so. See the pic. And How to configure DHCP or static IP? I'm sorry but I'm very noob on this.

"Maybe check the router's options to see if it's configured to allow ethernet adapters to connect to it, and if it's currently configured to give local IP addresses to ethernet adapters." How to do this? I use tp link router.

Your smartphone is connected to the same router I assume?

Have you tried the stick on another USB port or PC?
