PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter with Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Desktop PCI-E Network Card NIC

Fast delivery and easy install. Works like champ

What more is there to say? Its advertised as a pcie card that does gigabit networking, and spoiler alert it does in fact hit gigabit speeds and wait for it you'll never guess this it is in fact also a pcie card. 10/10, exactly what I purchased.

After the onboard NIC kept dropping. My online was really slow and always dis-connecting. Installed this NIC and am a happy camper again.

Slid right into place. No programming required. Jumped right on my network. Very fast.

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.

I like the fact that everything was included; including the Cd-rom with the drivers and the instructions. I followed the instructions and my ethenet adapter is working like a champ. I also love that this product came with the low profile components and I was able to change it to it and install on my computer. I would recommend this product.

I tested this Ethernet adapter on 5 different Operating Systems with 3 of them recognizing the controller on start up which was Windows Vista, Fedora 19 and Fedora 33 Linux. With Windows XP 64 bit, it found the necessary drivers on the included CD with no problems but Windows 2000 wouldn't install because the manufacturer didn't include the necessary system file called: "b57w2k.sys" on the driver CD.. I had to manually download the b57w2k.sys file off of the internet, transfer the file to a thump drive and then get Windows 2000 to look for the missing system file on the thump drive to get it installed. But it works and it's compatibly with all 5 OS's. I took off 1 star because it didn't include the system file needed to install inside Windows 2000.

Been running almost a year (more than 8 hours / day) with no issues

Nice erhernet card. To build a computer from scratch or add a secondary Ethernet card in small form factor all nice for cheap

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.

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?)".
