There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Note that there has been, over the years, four versions/itinerations of this (1 Gigabit PCI-Express) card. Sold and shipped by Amazon, I received Version 4.6 of the card. So Amazon is selling (direct) and shipping current stock. You can check the version of the card by looking at the label on the outside of the box … or at the sticker on the card. Oddly, the MAC address is not given on either the box or the card; if you need it, you will have to snag it out of your router's DHCP list.
Installation into a WinXP SP3 w/ circa-2007 Intel mobo was quick and straightforward:
All the drivers come in the box on a mini-CD but to be sure I would be current, I instead downloaded the most current Version 4 XP drivers from the TP-Link support webpage for the card. That was a .ZIP file; I extracted all the files into a temporary folder. Powered down the computer. Snapped the card into a vacant PCI-Express x 1 slot on the mobo. Powered back up and got the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" pop-up. The XP driver install instructions provided by TP-Link (at their website) were very close, but not entirely 100% spot-on; if I recall correctly, from the pop-up I followed the path:
InstallFromAListOrSpecificLocation
Don'tSearchIWillChooseTheDriverToInstall
HardwareType (choose NetworkAdapter)
Don't bother to choose a specific adapter from the given list, instead click on
HaveDisk, then Browse (to the .inf file in the temporary folder), then Open it.
Click on OK. Ignore incorrect driver warnings and click ContinueAnyway.
(I think the warning is being 'thrown' by the fact that the TP-Link card is built on a Realtek chip & drivers.)
Bam! Device and drivers installed. Device is named 'TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Adapter.' The three needed driver files were dropped into the Windows/System32 folder. Swapped the Ethernet cable onto the card. Opened ControlPanel/NetworkConnections. Disabled the mobo Ethernet port, renamed it 'Mobo Ethernet.' Enabled the TP-Link Ethernet port, renamed it 'TP-Link Ethernet.' Deleted the temporary folder. Rebooted the router, just to be sure. Up and running !!
I didn't pick up the download speed improvement I was hoping for, but I've definitely excluded the Ethernet port as a speed constraint. (Paying for 1Gb, pulling 220Mb … time to get a techie out here to test the speed at the coax connector!)
In any case, this card is very inexpensive … and it is also a quick, easy solution under XP and older mobos.
Thats an excersize in futility. The drivers software and even support are worthless.
Enter the TP LINK family of products. Ive been procuring their products for years, theyve never given me any issues at all, minus some minor connectivity with an AC 750 router that once i updated the firmware went away. They tend to lean to the techie market with removable/upgradeable external antennas and tweak settings in most of their better products.
PCI-E is a great form factor for a high speed NIC, and remember, your network is only as fast as the slowest thing its connected to. So i Purchased one of these for 15 bucks, literally shut down the computer, shoe horned the adapter between my Twin Nvidia Titan SLI GPUs, and turned the pc back on.
9 seconds later desktop appears, punch in my password and the card is already drivers loaded and connected at 1000x1000mb quick tracert and ping-t and some speed tests show that its using every megabyte of that connection in full duplex mode with NOT ONE error, true 2 gigabit bandwidth.
This is important. Reason being is that most of us have well over 10/100 Internet speeds, if you cheaped out with a cheap 10/100 Cisco Router or Cable Modem, the Gigabit wont help, youre limited to 100mb regardless.. In my case every desktop is gigabit, the switches are gigabit, and the router/cable modem is gigabit. On Spectrum Internet I average 960mb download speeds and 260mb out. Less than 18 seconds to download a ripped dvd from an offsite FTP server. avg time prior was about 3-4 minutes.
This is a decent Card for the price, Realtek is up to the old skool Intel NIC standards, and unlike the onboard KILLER Networking garbage, this takes a LOT less resources and CPU/RAM to run.
Overall worthy of 5 stars. I also have 2 and 4 port server NIC's with this same chipset and theyre also very good and incredibly stable.
Buy one and replace the ONBOARD Killer Networking E2200 or 2000/3000 Series cards and then MAKE SURE TO DELETE all the KILLER NETWORKING drivers and SOFTWARE. Theres tons of articles on the Net about how-to.

Al ser compacta e incluir adaptador de perfil bajo, se puede instalar en ordenadores compactos. Se cambia en un minuto, pues solo son dos tornillos (no incluye destornillador).
En la última versión de Ubuntu LTS ha sido instalar y usar. No he tenido que configurar ni instalar nada. La ha detectado y asignado nada más arrancar el equipo. Por ahora funciona estable y sin dar problemas.
