Tp link tg 3468 gigabit pcie network adapter
The TP-Link TG-3468 gigabit PCIe network adapter is not a bad budget model. The transfer speed reaches over 110 MB/s, almost at the theoretical maximum of 125 MB/s (1 Gbps). The 5 GB file finishes transferring in less than 1 minutes, which is quite impressive. This is to reduce the bottle-necking (limiting) by the ISP’s internet speed and slow HDD write speed. The computers transfer a 5 GB test file to a SSD to simulate real world scenario. Both computers have a gigabit ethernet port, one of which is the TG-3468. To test out the performance of the TG-3468 network adapter, I directly connect two computers together with ethernet cable. The chipset is made by Realtek, which is expected for a budget network card.

You will see the detailed information of the network card if you install the driver correctly.
The computer will detect it automatically as a generic ethernet adapter. Only need to plug it into a PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard. Installing the network card is easy as other PCIe peripherals. Controller and other components on the PCB A single RJ-45 Ethernet port and the Activity LEDs Review A warranty card and a quick installation guide are also included. Just download the latest driver version on the product website.
There is a driver CD, which I do not recommend using it.
However, no low profile bracket is included. The TG-3468 V2 network adapter is wrapped inside the anti-static bag with the pre-installed full length PCIe bracket. On the back, a typical network setup image is shown as well as more features described in different languages.
