ASUS Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS Driver

The ASUS Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS driver helps Windows recognize a compatible ASUS Android device as a network adapter when connected by USB. It is useful if you want to share your phone’s mobile internet connection through USB tethering but Windows cannot detect the network interface or shows a missing-driver warning in Device Manager.

Key Features

• USB networking support: Enables Windows to communicate with the Android device’s Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) interface.
• Tethering connectivity: Supports a wired internet connection through a compatible ASUS phone when USB tethering is enabled and your mobile plan allows it.
• Device recognition: Helps resolve missing-driver issues for the ASUS Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS interface, which may initially appear under Other devices in Device Manager.
• Support for listed Windows systems: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the specific driver package’s compatibility requirements.

How to Install ASUS Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS Driver

1. Check your Windows version and architecture. Confirm whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, then choose a matching package. For Windows 10/11 users, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported here; Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed.
2. Review the download details. Before starting the ASUS Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS driver download for Windows, verify the supported device and operating system. Choose a trusted source for a free download, and confirm that the latest version offered supports your setup.
3. Connect your ASUS Android device. Use a data-capable USB cable, unlock the device, and enable USB tethering in its network or hotspot settings. The setting’s location varies by Android version.
4. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary. Run the included installer, or open Device Manager, locate the RNDIS or unrecognized device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then check that the adapter appears under Network adapters without a warning icon. If there is no internet access, confirm that mobile data and USB tethering are enabled.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connectivity problems or supports changes to your system. Before you install an update, check its compatibility notes; the newest package is not necessarily suitable for older Windows versions. If tethering already works reliably, avoid replacing the driver without a clear reason.
