My last nic card I think was not working right. So, I bought this one. It worked perfect and installed all drivers without the disk! The odd thing, which isn't bad, When I turn my desktop off, the 2 rj-45's in the 10g switch still have the green lights on. If I turn the power off to the PSU, they go off. I guess this card stays on even when you shut the PC off. But I unplug power to the PC when not using, so no big deal! But after the drivers were installed, it saw my 4 NAS devices and the one Cloud device. Also, the 10g rj-45 from the router.

The product only delivered about 250 to 350 megabits per second (Mbits), well below the published 10 gigabits per second (Gbits), a speed that seems outrageous. That is, 10 Gbits is off the chart. My isp supposedly provides 1 Gbit, which is very fast, requires a special modem, and costs more. Though, the most I have ever seen is about 900 megabits per second (Mbits), about 100 Mbits below the isp's advertised one Gbit. While the FedSmart driver kind of worked, it in never appeared in the device manager. Go figure? When I attempted to contact the vendor, the phone number had been removed. The next time I buy something online near the $100 level, I going to ensure I can contact the vendor before making the purchase. I am going to return the FedSmart card to Amazon. I don't know if the company is a scam or out of business. But with an Amazon purchase, one never needs to worry about such things.

As the title suggests I needed a card for my windows server setup. Playing around with it due to getting a key from my school so I figure why not set up an old machine to mess around?The onboard network card didn't work. Major issue for a SERVER right? Yep. Tried all the drivers I could find. No bueno.So this card said it worked with server, and was cheap.. Win/Win. (windows ha?) So picked it up - just installed. Worked like a charm - no drivers necessary since windows found it right away no questions asked.Now my machine is updating, and working as I was hoping it would with the onboard card.TLDR: Works with Windows Server 2019 without drivers.

When I installed the card the windows 11! Picked up the card with correct drivers installed by windows. My computer has the 2 ports on this card as well as a built in port and all three work with no issues.

My HP motherboard started giving me problem while booting... it kept crashing several times before finally reboot to Windows properly. It took several trial and error, and accidental discovery to find out that my onboard ethernet port was the issue. When ethernet cable is unplugged, it boots up with no issue. When ethernet cable gets plugged, it would crash and will try to reboot and crash about 10 times before finally getting to the login screen successfully. (I had the latest bios and hp stopped supporting my model while ago). So I decided to giving a new ethernet card a try.This was an easy install, worked right out of the box. Windows 10 recognized it right away. No issue what so ever. it's been more than 2 months and it's running fine. Worth the investment.

When the ethernet port on my computer stopped working, it was shocking how less useful the computer became. Internet is everything. The ethernet port was on the motherboard, but I quickly found this reasonably priced PCI-e card that looked like it would fix the problem. It has both full-height and half-height adapters - I needed half-height. It was delivered in two days. I plugged it in and connected the cable, and it just worked. No driver or setup needed.
