H!Fiber.com 1G Gigabit Ethernet Converged Network Adapter (NIC),Compatible Broadcom BCM5751 Single RJ45 Port, PCI Express X1, NIC Card for Desktop PC

does not work in my application - Dell 7070 and VMware

Our Dell XPS 8930 at church that we use for streaming has the Intel "killer" ethernet E2500 chipset in it. Worked good for a long time, but then all of the sudden it would start dropping out during a service. It would disconnect for a few seconds, then reconnect. It would do it quite often. Tried updating the drivers and trying other tweaks found with net searches but no luck. We switched to wifi but that was causing issues too, the video would stutter or freeze from time to time. Probably because too many devices were connected to it? So decided to try add-on card in the computer. The X4 slot was being used for a video capture card and the X16 for a video card. It has 2 X1 slots but I think the video card covers one of them. After the fiasco with the E2500 was hesitant to go Intel again but the I210 chipset gets good reviews so got this one. Thankfully was able to squeeze this into the open X1 slot and so far so good, our streaming connection appears to be solid now and speedtest is reporting 200/200 which is what our internet service is. Even changed the settings in OBS to get a better picture and it handled it like a champ.

This network card is exactly what I needed for faster wired connectivity. Installation was simple, and the card was recognized immediately without any driver issues. The Realtek RTL8125 chip delivers consistent and reliable speeds, making it perfect for gaming, streaming, or large file transfers. The build quality feels solid, and the card sits securely in the PCIe slot. I’ve noticed a significant improvement over my previous 1Gb network card, with stable and smooth performance. Overall, this is a high-quality, easy-to-use upgrade for anyone looking to boost their network speed. Definitely a five-star choice for home or office setups.

happy to get this network card i recommend this

only one port work at a time , never buy , waste of money

I am using this in my pfsense box, they work out of the box. I replaced the stock thermal glue with a drop of MX4. It does get little hot without a fan so I added an 80mm fan facing directly on the nic and it is much cooler now even under heavy load.
