Working great!

ESXi compatible

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Bought this for an ESXi build. My built in motherboard’s NIC was not compatible, after doing some research this was a low cost solution. Works as advertised and it was plug and play. Been stable with over 21 days uptime.

These do not support 1Gbps or WOL.

I bought two of these for the very specific purpose of using them for Wake On Lan (WOL) between two desktops. One desktop is a Plex server box that always stays on, and the other one is a gaming machine that I like to wake up remotely to stream games. This worked flawlessly over my onboard LAN ports, but this will NOT work over these Broadcom NICs. It shows options for WOL and magic packet sending but it will not work. I made sure to set the APM options in the BIOS to keep the NIC on while the PC is off, no luck. After some digging, I even realized these do not run at the 1Gbps advertised speed, which lead me to believe it was a driver issue. After making sure I had the latest drivers installed, I kept tinkering with it for a few hours until I finally gave up. These are still running at only 100Mbps and they do not WOL even though everything is enabled all the way through. These appear to be legacy NICs and they are cheap for a reason. I was hoping to find a cheap solution for my needs, and as far as I saw, this should have worked. But aside from the apparent lack of WOL functionality, claiming to be 1Gbps just to sell me old legacy gear that runs at 100Mbps is not okay, that’s false advertising. One star. Stay away unless you need something VERY basic.

Works well even though it does not look as fancy as a killer nic. my onboard killer nic decided to stop working when I replaced a video card of all things. popped this guy in and back in business. unless you want a usb to ethernet adapter you will not find these types of nic cards anymore in box stores. Computer specialty stores might have them. would buy this again, and may buy another as a spare for future builds trouble.

My aging Windows 10 machine could not connect to the internet one day, no matter what I tried. Pulled out the TP-link card, popped this one in and all was fine. Thumbs up.

Excellent Gigabit Ethernet card

Plug N play as expected. works great. Did the speedtest.com test and speeds were comparable to my other computer

Gives full 1gb+ speed

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Grateful the card gives full speed. Install was nothing as I was replacing a card that had the same chipset. Remember the diff between Gb and GB. Roughly 1 Gb = 100 MB.

Not working with DELL D790 on WIN 10

Reviewed in Canada on July 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

I have same issue as posted by “MmmDee in the United States on April 7, 2023” – not compatible with Windows 10 running on Dell Optiplex 790. On booting, the NetXtreme NIC displayed a banner “copyrighted 2000-2004, hit Control-S for settings”, and the system would not boot. Changed BIOS to disable on-board NIC. System booted to login screen but froze. Rebooting never displayed a login screen again. Removed NetXtreme NIC and system booted. Tried this process 2-3times with no luck to use it and my system was unable to read the included CD, labeled “BCM/M Driver (dated 22/05?)”.

Decent, inexpensive network card

Reviewed in Australia on August 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a decent, no-frills network card that’s natively supported out of the box by Windows 10. Plug it in and away you go.
