EDUP 1Gbps PCIe Network Card(1 Port), 1000Mbps PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet NIC Adapter RJ45 LAN PCI-E Converter for Desktop PC, Support Windows 10/8.1/8 / 7, Full-Height/Low-Profile Bracket Included

The items arrived well packaged and was easy to install. With Windows 10 Pro, the drivers were downloaded automatically.I have a Gigabit Ethernet card built-in to my MOBO as well. It connects at 1 Gbps without issue. With this PCIe based card, the connection initially is at 1 GBps, but the link actually slows down after several hours to about 50 - 70 Mbps, even though the link speed shown is 1 Gbps in the control panel. There is some kind of signal problem. All I have to do to repeat this is move the same wire from the built-in Ethernet to this card and wait for a few hours and run a speed test.

Unfortunately, the full size bracket is the wrong size, and sits too high up by about 1-1.5cm. I'm guessing they updated the board and did not update the metal bracket for the new hole spacing. The Half-size bracket might work but I can't test. I had to return the card.This is a shame since the packaging was great. A screwdriver and screws are included and there is a QR code for authenticity as well as a web site to download drivers. I had high hopes, since there was useful information about how to get the drivers and install, and it included lots of parts I might need.For the record, this is a The card is actually an EDUP EP-9602 with a Realtek 8111H chip.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop on the one computer - that's where this was installed. I did not have to download any drivers - just put it in and reboot. Linux recognized it and it just worked. So, I plan to get another one for my actual Linux server ( my media & surveillance server). You just can't go wrong for $10.00.

I like that the card is comes with 2 different size bracket however, I don't like that it does not come with drivers.The drivers have to be downloaded but if you can not connect to the internet by other means how can you download the drivers?

Giving a 4 star because a compasitor was broken off the card when I got the first one, but that was probably due to poor handling.The second card works great and is 100% great value for the price of other cards.

I needed a LAN connection to replace the motherboard LAN that failed. No driver disc came with the unit but I downloaded the driver from the site using another PC. The card seems to work fine.

This was a great replacement for the onboard motherboard. Easy to install.

Works good.
