- I'm not going to install anything unsigned AGAIN!
My onboard NIC was struck by lightning and the Netgear GA311 was recommended to me by Geek Squad. I installed and everything seemed to be fine, until 2 months later and my computer was locking up whenever I'd get online. Then my computer wasn't recognizing the driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail. I took it back to Geek Squad and they ran tests and said I had viruses. I did a PC recovery and installed the Netgear and it all seemed to be fine...for a couple of days. I took ... Read More

- Works very well
I bought 2 of these to replace the motherboard ethernet circuits that blew in a lightning storm in 2 computers. These physically installed easily. Software worked perfectly in one, the other had a conflict which the vendor helped me fix in pretty short order. Has worked perfectly ever since. I heartily endorse this product.

- great product
This is a perfect fit for an older PCI slot that was the low power kind. Not all PCI cards provide gigabit ethernet at the 3.3 volt specification, this one works for both voltages. Easy to install and WIN XP had no problem finding and configuring the card on one machine, the other (identical machine) showed the Realtek chipset as the card's name and didn't have the same features as the first machine did (it saw the card correctly as the Netgear GA311). The Realtek configuration had more options to ... Read More

- Works Great With Newer 2009 Realtek Driver
I bought 9 of these cards at auction. All have been installed on XP machines. I only had one recent problem. My home XP computer could not log into my DGL-4100 router with the factory 2003 driver. I downloaded the latest driver and diagnostic utility from the Realtek website today and presto...I can now log into my router. Thanks to all previous posters. This issue has been nagging me for months.
P.S. The new drivers say they support Win 2000 and Server 2003.
