Realtek Chipset 1 Gigabits Gbps PCIe PCI Express Ethernet Network Interface Card Adapter with Low Profile Bracket for Desktop PC/Mac(No Software)

Bought this in July for the Optiplex 3010 even thought it used the Realtek Chipset for onboard but good thing i am still using the PCIe card for the 3010 because i can use any driver instead of using Dell Drivers also bought this for the Optiplex 990 because it uses the Intel Ethernet and I prefer Realtek more it worked on Windows 7/8.1 with no driver issues used a 2014 driver for the 3010 and a 2013 driver for the 990 still get good mbps download and upload would buy this item again for any other pc As of 11/2/2025 I moved my from the 3010 to the Inspiron 570 i’m using the onboard Ethernet again on the 3010

Seems to work well. Installed to replace an old card in a server. Connectivity is good. It’s nice that it comes with different size mounts for different hardware applications. Only time will tell!

Nice NIC, in my Rack File Server. Easy installation.

Easy to install, works perfectly. Solved my connectivity issue in five minutes. Great value, too.

My onboard LAN port quit working and I bought this to replace it. I'm with the other reviwer who noted that it can be caused to disconnect from the motherboard due to the flimsy/warped bracket. I bent the bracket slightly to improve alignment to the PCIe slot, and removed the plastic bar in my case that holds the cards in place. I used screws to attach my cards instead, and it is nice and firm now. This is compatible with Windows 7 x64 and drivers are readily available online if you have another computer that you can access the internet with. Also note that the status LEDs are mounted directly to the board and there are peep holes in the steel bracket that the light shines through, sort of. The lights are hard to see unless you're looking at the back of your computer straight on, but it's not really a problem for me. I would buy this again, especially at the cheap price.

The ethernet/wireless card in an old Windows 7 computer stopped working. I replace it with this one. While this new one is Ethernet only, it worked great. Plug and play, no software or drivers needed and the internet speed seems faster than the original card I replaced.

Installed it in my computer running windows 10 and had no issues the computer recognized and setup the device automatically.

For this card its download speed is just perfect however its upload speed has little to be desired. Now if you use cable internet this card is perfect. If you have fiber or for any purpose such as Live streaming it is not your best choice

Worked out for our requirement.

Not good enough
