Review: EZ quick XP install !! desertcart is selling/shipping current version of card (v4.6). - TP-Link manufactures quality networking gear. Over recent years, I have relied on a TP-Link modem and I currently running TWO TP-Link routers, one as a 'root' router, the other as an 'extender/bridge' router. Always rock-solid and reliable. (I retired the TP-Link modem only because TP-Link does not manufacture a stand-alone DOCSIS 3.1 modem.) Note that there has been, over the years, four versions/itinerations of this (1 Gigabit PCI-Express) card. Sold and shipped by desertcart, I received Version 4.6 of the card. So desertcart is selling (direct) and shipping current stock. You can check the version of the card by looking at the label on the outside of the box … or at the sticker on the card. Oddly, the MAC address is not given on either the box or the card; if you need it, you will have to snag it out of your router's DHCP list. Installation into a WinXP SP3 w/ circa-2007 Intel mobo was quick and straightforward: All the drivers come in the box on a mini-CD but to be sure I would be current, I instead downloaded the most current Version 4 XP drivers from the TP-Link support webpage for the card. That was a .ZIP file; I extracted all the files into a temporary folder. Powered down the computer. Snapped the card into a vacant PCI-Express x 1 slot on the mobo. Powered back up and got the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" pop-up. The XP driver install instructions provided by TP-Link (at their website) were very close, but not entirely 100% spot-on; if I recall correctly, from the pop-up I followed the path: InstallFromAListOrSpecificLocation Don'tSearchIWillChooseTheDriverToInstall HardwareType (choose NetworkAdapter) Don't bother to choose a specific adapter from the given list, instead click on HaveDisk, then Browse (to the .inf file in the temporary folder), then Open it. Click on OK. Ignore incorrect driver warnings and click ContinueAnyway. (I think the warning is being 'thrown' by the fact that the TP-Link card is built on a Realtek chip & drivers.) Bam! Device and drivers installed. Device is named 'TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Adapter.' The three needed driver files were dropped into the Windows/System32 folder. Swapped the Ethernet cable onto the card. Opened ControlPanel/NetworkConnections. Disabled the mobo Ethernet port, renamed it 'Mobo Ethernet.' Enabled the TP-Link Ethernet port, renamed it 'TP-Link Ethernet.' Deleted the temporary folder. Rebooted the router, just to be sure. Up and running !! I didn't pick up the download speed improvement I was hoping for, but I've definitely excluded the Ethernet port as a speed constraint. (Paying for 1Gb, pulling 220Mb … time to get a techie out here to test the speed at the coax connector!) In any case, this card is very inexpensive … and it is also a quick, easy solution under XP and older mobos.
Review: Easy Installation with no software needed for Windows 10/11 - Easy installation of 10 minutes (you can find step-by-step instructions on YT for your brand/model of PC). Just make sure your PC has the matching type of expansion card slot for what you are buying (e.g. PCIe x1, 16, etc. AND that there is nothing ALREADY in that slot; check your computer's manual to find out; if you don't have the manual, download it from the company's support web site. I've included an image of a "typical" System Board [commonly called a "motherboard"]. Sys Board configurations vary and this is simply to give an EXAMPLE. Your board may be different, but it gives you an idea of what to look for regarding PCI-Express slots.). There should be no software installation required if you have Windows 10/11. Closed my PC, plugged all the cables back in, turned it on and after Windows detected it, it started "talking" to the other PC's in the house with a fast download/upload speed on the Internet. It's plain, simple with no bells-and-whistles and works great. WARNING!!! UNPLUG YOUR PC's electric power cable before attempting to open it and make sure you DISCHARGE ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY you might have in your body before touching anything in your computer or wear an anti-static wristband (about $6 on desertcart). WORD OF ADVICE: If it requires a lot of force to remove or install a component, 9 times out of 10, it either isn't supposed to be removed or doesn't belong where you're trying to put it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Windows 10 compatable ?**
A: Yes, the TG-3468 is compatible with Windows 10. Please download the latest driver from our website for best results: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tg-3468/#Driver

Regards,
TP-Link Support

**Q: Does this device work with ubuntu linux out of the box or do I need to manually compile the driver? Or other distros?**
A: I'm using it on Linux Mint Mate 18.3. The r-8169 driver that wants to load drove me nuts, it worked but researching showed many problems with Realtek r-8169 driver. I'm looking for a stable Plex Server and in the end compiled my driver own using info from https://unixblogger.com/2016/08/11/how-to-get-your-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-working-updated-guide/ I downloaded current Realtek r8168 driver and compiled with info from there. Be aware the r-8169 driver will need to be Blacklisted all info is there if you have the nerve.

I'm getting a steady file share speeds around 87mB/s to 92mB/s from Windows 10 to Linux Mint Mate 18.3 Plex Server when uploading media.

**Q: will a PCIE 2.0 x1 slot bottleneck this 2.5gbps card?**
A: In theory, the PCIe 2.0 spec is 500 MB/sec, which is just under 4gbps.  That means 2.5gbps is within the spec.  However, your motherboard may be using the same channel/bandwidth internally, which means other cards/etc. may be limiting.

If you're just worried about pure specs limiting the card, you should be fine.

**Q: An old question, but is the low profile bracket still included?**
A: Low profile bracket is included in the one I'm selling - see description.  Doc's Books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Fix for a Dead Onboard NIC
*by E***Z on January 27, 2026*

My onboard Ethernet controller failed, and relying on Wi-Fi resulted in inconsistent speeds and higher latency. I installed this TP-Link 10/100/1000Mbps PCIe NIC as a replacement and it performed exactly as expected. The card was detected immediately, drivers installed without issues, and link speed negotiated at a full 1 Gbps. Throughput is consistent, latency is low, and the connection has been stable under sustained load with no drops or packet loss. Excellent build quality for the price and a reliable solution if your onboard NIC dies or you need a dependable wired connection. Highly recommended for a straightforward gigabit upgrade or replacement.
