Support for PXE booting depends on your specific laptop's BIOS/UEFI settings and hardware implementation; please check your computer manual.
Is this adapter compatible with Mac devices?

Troubleshooting
The device is not recognized by the computer
Disconnect the adapter, restart your computer, and plug it into a different USB 3.0 port to rule out a faulty port.
Slow network speeds
Ensure that the adapter is connected to a USB 3.0 port (often blue inside) rather than a USB 2.0 port, as older ports will limit the throughput.
