EDUP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express PCI-E Network Card 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 LAN Adapter Converter for Desktop PC

This thing saved me so much headache. Ethernet port fried in my computer and I needed it working again asap. With no local electronics shop I had to order something. At such a low price and overnight shipping I gave this a try. Super simple plug and play design had my computer back up and running immediately. It's been working flawlessly for a couple months now. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Fits full size desktop and low profile type machines, comes with everything needed to install.Con; the website provided for the driver via instructions did not load, but they were easily obtained with a simple web search.It would recieve a 4 1/2 star rating for that but the product is nice quality, works, fits and is what I needed, so still a 5.

Okay so my wifi and ethernet kept cutting out every single time I would go AFK. I changed power saving to off, did every possible thing u can find on the internet to fix it. My last chance effort was to purchase this tiny little PCI express network card, OMG IT WORKS! I am on windows 11 so just plugged it in my motherboard, turned on my pc, and it works beautifully! In fact I pay for 300 down and up and get 312-320 constantly!!! EVEN WITH MY VPN! I went afk for 2 hours came back and I am still online! Seems my network card on my motherboard was going and paying for this adapter IS SO MUCH CHEAPER than getting a whole new motherboard! GREAT DANG PRODUCT! Seriously try it! Windows 10 and 11 no need for drivers, just plug and go! Honestly in my top 10 best things for pc's to buy for under 15 bucks!

Ok, so first off, I thought I needed to download a driver before installing this device (EDUP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express PCI-E Network Card/NO WIFI). But the listed website on the manual no longer exists (or wouldn't load for me).So I popped it in anyway on my motherboard express slot and it just worked. Now the technical details. Yes, it actually reduced CPU usage by a small percentage. I'm running a Ryzen 3600 6 core 12 thread CPU, 32GB 3600mhz c18 ram on a Asus Strix b450-F Gaming motherboard. Certain streaming websites like Twitch, etc, would sometimes cause my CPU fans to ramp up quite a bit. After installing this device, all the networking is handled by it, thus leaving my CPU alone.Also, it actually upped my download speeds, which was a big surprise. People have been parroting that using a network card would present no difference than onboard. Not in my case. Prior to install, I was getting a max of 181mbps download speeds (im paying for 150mbps so I thought it was good). After changing my connection over to this device, my download speeds are now at a consistent 220mbps and sometimes up to 228Mbps. Like what?Actually, I do need to point out that prior to seeing the speed boost, my speeds did start out slower than when I was on my onboard network adapter, at 170Mbps. I went on the Cox website and reset my hardware through their reset options and that's when the speed boosted. I'm checking this every day and so far, it hasn't failed to drop below.The only con here, is cosmetic.The metal bracket is not black as shown in pics. Thankfully, easy to mod. I have a can of flat black Krylon primer spray paint and I will be removing the bracket to paint it after a week's use.So far, so good. If anything changes, I'll update my review.

Upgraded my computer and didn't know my motherboard was bottlenecked at 100mbs until doing a speedtest. I immediately ordered this and got back to a Gig download speed after install. No fuss installation as my computer immediately recognized what it was and I was off to the bandwidth races. Great little network card.

This little inexpensive card works very well given it's price point. I just installed two of them. I saw numerous reviews which stated the card did not line up properly with the expansion slots in their machines. I did not have this issue, everything lined up perfectly on two different machines. So I don't know if the manufacturer released a bad batch which weren't cut correctly, or if the people installing them made errors during the installation. However, I thought it was important to come on here to let other buyers know that these work very well. They have a Realtek chip on them, which I've had good luck with in the past. Performance wise, the tests I've done so far indicate that they are providing more stable transfers across my network than my on board Intel NIC does. I purchased these, because there is an issue with the onboard NICs on my motherboards, which causes them to disappear and be unusable. ASRock has not released a fix for this in almost a year now, and I'm tired of working around this issue with the fixes I've found online. So I'm bypassing them all together. Very happy that I was able to do so inexpensively!
