Connect to a wired network
You can use the Surface Ethernet adapter or another
Ethernet adapter (both sold separately) to connect
your Surface Pro 3 to a wired network. You might
need to use a wired connection to join a network
domain, or you may want to use a wired connection
when streaming video or downloading large files.
To connect to a wired network:
1. Plug a USB Ethernet network adapter (sold separately) into the USB port on Surface Pro 3 (along the left
edge).
2. Plug an Ethernet network cable into the adapter.
3. Plug the other end of the network cable into your router or an Ethernet network port.
4. Open the Settings charm, then tap or click the wired network icon.
5. If prompted, enter your username and password, and then tap Next. If you don't know this info, check
with your network admin.
6. To see if you’re online, go to the Start screen and start Internet Explorer.
If Surface Pro 3 doesn’t connect to the Internet, see Connect Surface to a wired network on Surface.com.
Important Surface Pro 3 is compatible with accessories that are certified for Windows 8.1. To see which USB
Ethernet adapters are compatible with Surface, see the Windows Compatibility Center.
