Gaming 3rd party usb to ethernet adapter not working.

[Small Kat]

So i bought a gigaware usb to ethernet adapter to play ssb4 better online.

But when i go to settings and go to wired connections, it dosent identify that i have a adapter on.

Does that mean that only wii ethernet adapters work?

Any Ethernet that uses ASIX AX88772 chipset should work. All Ethernet that uses other chipset will not work.

I use this one and I've had no issues.

The Nyko Wii ones work fine and I have had 0 issues with them on Wii or Wii U if anyone wants a 3rd party suggestion.

I purchased a Belkin USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter to originally use with an Android device, it currently works great on the Wii U also.

The chipset might well have changed now, however the one I have works great.
