I didnt get the performance increase that I expected with this product.On one hand, it is faster than 100 mbps. So I'm not complaining about that part.I brought a DLink 1gbps switch and 2 DGE-530T cards. I installed one in my desktop and another in my file server.Then I tested it by transferring 100MB and 200MB files from my desktop to my file server. My desktop is a windows XP pro machine fully updated, and my file server is a gentoo linux running samba. I transferred via file sharing (using samba).It took roughly 10 seconds to transfer a 200MB file, which is roughly 20MB/sec. Translated into bits, this equals 160Mbits/sec, which is a performance gain.The second and more serious issue is when I connect to any other computer or network device from my desktop (backbone is 100Mbps, 1gbps switch connects to backbone) - network connection actually drops when high rate transfers occur.One real life example: I run realvnc on my desktop. And I use the viewer on my laptop (54 mbps wifi connection) to connect to my desktop. I also ping my desktop at the same time. After few seconds of sending the screen on my desktop to my laptop, my desktop stops responding to ping. It takes 3 to 5 seconds before my desktop starts responding again.Also when I play games such as warcraft 3, my laptop shows my desktop ceasing to respond for few to tens of seconds before responding again. It seems that something is overloading in the network card on my desktop thats causing the cease in network connection.There also has been few instances when I did very heavy file transfer after a long periods of mild file transferring (i.e. copying a file over after playing an online game for few hours) - and my network card would completely cut out. I would need to disable then enable the network card to get it to work again.I have not been able to replicate those problems on my server. Keep in mind that the network driver written in linux is opensource, while the one for windows is not.The only reason why I am mentioning those is because another person earlier reported problems with their dlink network cards. I'm wondering if their problems are directly related to mine - i.e. they had heavy network traffic which caused their dlink card to cut out - and caused a loss of data on their file server.I'd be interested if anybody else is having those problems with this network card, and I'm still investigating the causes and solutions.

I got this card after my on-board Gigabit adapter failed. I looked around and this was the best choice for an inexpensive Gigabit network card with Linux support. I have purchased close to 10 of them for my home office network and am very satisfied. I've since put in two D-Link switches, a D-Link WAP, and a D-Link VPN router.My usage is limited to mostly the transfer of a lot of small files, but there are some occasional largish files. By upgrading my network to 1000 Mb/s (NICs, switches, and even cat5e cable), I now average ~35 MB/s for disk-bound file copies, which for me is great compared to my 100 Mb/s rate of ~5 MB/s. (Edit: the 35 MB/s is over Samba, I can get speeds of ~50MB/s over HTTP.) I am *not* a network engineer or sys admin so it's quite possible that one could achieve better/faster/higher rates.Also, this NIC comes with a "faceplate" for slim profile computers. It's fairly easy to swap with a small Phillips screwdriver.Highly recommended!

This adapter works very well. I installed in a system which runs Ubuntu 7.04, and it recognized the card with ease. The only problem I had was that it didn't quite fit into my case, but that probably has more to do with the fact that I have a microATX motherboard in a full ATX case. Definitely recommend this product.

I'm having the same connectivity issues as the other two reviewers (Noah and Casey). We have two servers where I installed the cards, running Windows 2003 Standard Server with SP1 and all updates; the servers are connected to 3COM gigabit switch. The connection starts just fine, but it cuts off in about 2 to 4 min of medium file traffic, and the servers become inaccessible - not even responding to pings. The card needs to be reset to restore the connection - only to drop it again in the next 3 minutes. We tested the switch to ensure it's working, and we tested the cabling, as well, - everything seemed working fine. Finally, we gave up and installed more expensive Intel 82541PI Gigabit cards. No problems since then.

Works fine on Windows XP, but does not work well with Linux. I've been using Linux for at least 10 years and compiling my own kernels for most of that time, and still had issues getting this card to run under Linux. My built in 10/100 NIC was much faster than this card would go. Ended up getting an Intel gigabit card that, of course, works with no issues. Save yourself some headaches and stay away from this card if it is destined for a Linux box.

This PCI Adapter was extremly easy to set up and it allows for fast connection speeds. I would say that it allows for your desktop to pick up a signal from a good distance away, but not a long distance. I can't give exact distances because every situation and household is different, but I would say that if you are within 50-70 feet away you should have no problem. I am comparing this to a previous set up that was not as fast, but the reception seemed to be stronger.

I have a G4 tower Mac that did have a built in Ethernet. Unfortunately, a lightening strike took out the port and I was forced to get a PCI card to replace the port. The first card I bought was the D-Link DFE-530TX+. I was excited because the box clearly said that the card would work with Macs and that the "minimum requirement" was OS 10.2.They lied. OS 10.2 is the _maximum_ for this card. For most people, it won't work with 10.3 and up. D-Link has no driver for 10.3 or higher, only 10.2. A google search shows that some people have been able to get the card to work with 10.3. I couldn't. I tried several different drivers (some users recommended a driver from Realtek) and none worked.It's my guess (and totally a guess) that this card is really only for older Macs that are limited to 10.2. D-Link doesn't seem to have any intention of supporting modern Macs.This is the second D-Link product I've used (the first was a cable modem) and I've been disappointed both times. I can't speak for Windows users, but this company doesn't deserve Mac business.

First after reading most of the reviews I have to say that gigabit does not "speed up" your network. It will not allow you to transfer Access files faster, or to copy files faster (usually). You are almost ALWAYS limited to your hard drive speed, and the operating system.Where we see a huge increase is in applications that talk back and forth to each other using sockets (database servers being a good example - NOT access which is a file share). We have apps internally that exceed 600 megabits / sec with these cards. We have the card installed under Server 2003, FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x, and Red Hat Linux.Samba is not a benchmark tool, and is usually a huge bottleneck for most LAN's. If you want to test the network card use an ECHO server, or some other benchmark tool.The big gain on this card is that it supports full duplex gigabit. Some of the other low end cards are non dma cards (all of the transfers happen from CPU, not hardware). This makes a huge difference in throughput. Some of our internal applications have seen a drop in CPU usage over the previous 100MB cards that were non DMA systems. The only exception is the Intel Etherexpress PRO Gig S card. It uses a hardware chip for SSL encryption as well and can save a lot of CPU for web servers that use SSL.

I got one of these cards so I can game at gigabit LAN parties and I've started upgrading my home network to gigabit. All three of my PCs at home have one of these cards in them and I found the install to be so much easier than I thought. Windows basically installed this automatically for me. Just shut down, power off, physically install card into PCI slot, boot PC back up and let windows search for driver and you point to the CD that came with the adapter and BAM! you are up and running with gigabit aon the next reboot.I can now transfer files sooo much faster between my PCs. I share and save video files, games, CDs, MP3s, etc between all my PCs and this card and gigabit switch have greatly decreased the time it takes to transfer large files from one PC to the next. This is vital at a LAN party when everyone is trading files. The faster I can go the better.Thanks D-Link!

All you need is an open PCI slot, $$, and 5 minutes to install and get gigabit speeds. Oh and a gigabit switch. :)Gigabit speeds are especially useful for transferring large files. And now-a-days almost everything is a large file. Movies, videos, CD backups, DVD backups, ghost images, ISOs, large winzip fules, etc.. And when you want to transfer them over a network and not wait around forever, then gigabit is your answer.No problems with this card and I recommend it to others.

I purchased this product as a second NIC for a Windows 2000 Server. I like the fact that the DFE-530TX+ was easy to reconfigure for a low-profile PCI slot (it has both full-height and low-profile brackets in the box).Unfortunately when I installed the drivers and rebooted I got the "blue screen of death". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times per the documentation, I downloaded the latest version, etc. to no avail.So I called tech support. I waited on hold for 8.5 hours before I gave up the first time. Altogether I called tech support about 9 times. 2-3 times after drilling down their phone menu the system was silent for a few minutes and then disconnected me. I never did speak to a tech support person. If the drivers actually work with your OS it may be a good product, but I would certainly avoid it if you're running W2K.

I have been using D-Link brand for about 4 years. During the years I have been networking, I have used Intel, 3com briefly, SMC, and Netgear as well. I have read so many negative reviews about Linksys that I won't even bother. Intel cards are excellent, but not real cheap. The cheapest I have found was about..., which isn't bad at all, but if you are looking for an economical network card that isn't loaded with every feature and it doesn't have to start your car, Intel is a little too much. 3com is one of the better brands, but still expensive. The rest are fairly good, but I started using D-Link after my last employer relied on them heavily.The entire office network of nearly 20 computers was done using D-Link hardware. They used D-Link network cards, switches, and routers for the Novell and Internet connections.What surprises me is how low cost the hardware is. They are usually the same as other brands, perhaps even a few bucks cheaper at times. I bought an 8 port 10 mbps hub for...., and am considering their 8 port 10/100 switch now. On top of this, for home or small office, the hardware works excellent.In the 4 years I have used D-Link, I have only ever had 2 bad network cards out of the box. 2 in a row at that. This is out of using dozens upon dozens of their cards. Not a bad ratio really. No company can make hundreds or thousands of a product on an assembly line and have NO faulty items come out.I have used them under DOS, Windows 95/98, Novell, Lantastic, and Red Hat Linux with no problems. This card is very widely supported. On the downside, I would not use this brand for anything CRITICAL, such as a large business environment with a mission critical server or anything that demands HEAVY use, such as a call center that relies on a central database being accessed by hundreds of users.This doesn't mean they are junk. Not at all. For mission critical, Intel or 3com is BY FAR better, HOWEVER, if you are networking 2 up to several dozen machines together and it doesn't DEMAND HEAVY use, they are excellent products.My last employer depended on D-Link and so did the technicans for the support database. It never failed us.I am only reviewing the product, not the support. I have read some negative reviews about their support, which could be true. I have never called them.The heaviest I have used their hardware on my end was about 2 years ago for network gaming. About 7 or 8 machines with various network cards (a few had D-Link) were hooked up to a D-Link 8 port 10 mbps hub playing games. We were HAMMERING on the network and the hub had no problems handling the load. An inexpensive... hub at that.Bottom line: mission critical and heavy demanding use, consider Intel or 3com, which are designed for that, but typical home/office/small business use for dozens of people AT ONCE on the network, D-Link will handle it just fine.

This is a good card for most of us who want to get networked. There are good linux drivers out there and performance is pretty decent....However, if you're looking for a card to put in a server where high transfer rates are very important and low CPU usage would also be nice, look for another card. In my own tests of transferring files across a network from a fileserver, this card used 40% of the CPU where other cards that I have tested (but are more expensive) use about half of that with slightly higher transfer rates.

Ok, so I don't often say that. But really, this NIC is super. I am a PC/Network tech and I use this card on new & old Win PCs as well as RedHat, Mandrake & SUSE Linux. The Nix distros all recognize it without any additional drivers. If you want to compile it into the kernel, get the driver form Dlink and have at it, but it is not necessary. This NIC performs great on each OS I've used it on. It is a great card for ADSL and works perfectly with SpeadStream DSL modems. The 3Com cards may have more bells & whistles, but for this price you can't go wrong - and a lifetime warranty at that. The retail for this card is somewhere around 35 or 40. Overall, unless you have a specific need for a specialty NIC, try this one!...

I bought this card over 6 months ago, and it has worked great. The physical (PCI) installation is simple and straightforward. The driver installation on floppy took a little while, till I used the "help" folder (in DOS window) and reviewed OS specific instructions (W98SE in my case). The manual is skimpy on the driver/software installation. I use it with the DI-704 router which is just great. I called D-Link tech support once on another issue, and they were very helpful. From personal experience I have been extremely pleased and would recommend D-Link and/or Netgear, in terms of product quality and tech support. I have tried Linksys products twice, and returned them, and would never try again due to very marginal performance and even worse tech support.

Last year, I had DSL for my PowerMac G4. One night after a particularly bad storm, my DSL stopped working. I couldn't tell whether the problem was the service, my modem or my computer. Eventually, I took my G4 downtown to Tekserve. They said my Ethernet port was shot, but they couldn't successfully install an (Asante) Ethernet card. They wanted to keep my G4, but that sounded particularly expensive (during post-9/11 financial distress). Plus, I really needed my computer.So it was with trepidation that I approached getting DSL again. I just got a new job that requires me to telecommute, so I had to revisit my G4/Ethernet problem. The D-Link card caught my eye over at xlr8yourmac.com - the customer responses over there and here at Amazon sold me. And the price can't be beat! I bought it 3am this morning and picked it up at Circuit City around noon. Got back home at 2pm, popped that baby in and was online (in OS 9.2.2 - haven't tried OS X yet) in less than 15 minutes! Ah, sweet relief!I am SO happy with this card! WOW!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

This was my first attempt at networking and D-link has made it a nightmare. The cards installed fine, but the booklet only explains on how to install it and hook it into the main board. And it explains it in such a confusing way, you have to read it over and over again until you can understand it. Then it says to refere to the readme file on the floppy disk, when you open it up, all it says is to insert the disk and follow the directions. Wow what help that was. I got in installed, or so I thought I did, I really still am not sure if it's installed. It had no help on how to use the product and make connections with my other computer. Now I see why it was so cheap. Sure this maybe great to an expert, but to any newbie, this will just mess you up and cause you to waste money on it. It changed my passwords on my system some how and just messed it up pretty bad. I needed to format anyway, but I was so surprised on how much it did to my system. The technical help was no good either, I couldnt even get in contact with them. Please avoid this, unless you know ALOT, and I mean ALOT about networking, otherwise it's a waste.

I'm one of those people that would rather keep reusing old computer parts until they completely die than buy new ones; network cards, after all, haven't changed much in the past 6 years. Recently, however, I decided to switch my hub to 100baseT as it worked faster than the dual-mode I was using. Suddenly, my old card became obselete (well, on THAT switch at least) and I did some research into the latest crop of LAN cards out there. D-Link is very highly rated across the board, and I settled on this particular card. My system automagically recognized it, my switch latched on to it, and have not had a problem with it at all. It even happily coexists with the 6 year old 10baseT combo token ring/RJ45 card! Summary: If you need a LAN card, you can't go wrong with D-Link.

So I bought it and the installation went rather smooth.Windows was able to recognize it right away, and it already had the drivers on the Windows Disk, I didn't even need the floppy or instructions that came with the DFE-530TX+.

My first impression is "this is such a cheapo lookin' card, but for the price, I guess I can give it a try"... Boy, was I wrong or what? The installation is so easy, it took 2 minutes and 40 seconds, including opening and closing the computer cover, and software driver. The card's performance is second to none, far exceeds my Linksys and Netgear, even Intel cards. Ever since, I've buying this particular card for my home and professional networking use, and it never failed me.I know some people gets uncomfortable when they see a "ancient floppy disk" for storing driver. But darn it, it works great. And what's amazing about D-Link, is that they always seem to include the latest driver in their packaging. I have bought over 60 of these cards, and the driver date is just barely 2 - 3 months old on every purchase. Consider Linksys, their drivers are at least 1 year old. To top it off, Windows 2000 and ME has build-in drivers for this card, and the floppy isn't even needed.Overall, this is a good performing card at a wonderful price. They use the SAME chipset (stamped with their own name) that other competitors use as well, but they did it much less expensive... Definitely +++!

In fact, I just bought another D-Link DFE-530TX+ after the first one that I bought two months ago. It works well with D-link DI7-04 router and D-Link DSS-5+ switch. I use these products to build a home network (PC/laptop/servers/PowerMac) with internet sharing on one cable modem. If you just want to use this NIC with internet-sharing router by using DHCP as the default, the configuration is fairly easy. If you want to use this NIC with a swicth to build a home network, it take a little more understanding of TCP-IP network to get it done right. Nevertheless, it is a good combination with D-link DI704 router and D-Link DSS-5+ switch.

I used this card to connect my cable modem to my computer...utter garbage. It never worked...I just simply went out to a store and bought one from Sohoware.....that card worked as soon as i popped it into the computer..Another reason to stay away from D-Link is their tech support is long distance..I have to waste extra money..no way!!

I had nothing but trouble with this card. First off it took me forever to install the software for the card...and it isn't as though I am running a (s)low end PC here! (650MHZ PIII, 32x CD-ROM, 160 MB Ram, etc.) Then, the instruction pamphlets read like stereo instructions! I thought companies were supposed to be creating these things "easier to use"...not with this product! To top things off, Windows 98 SE didn't recognize the product until I restarted the computer for the third time. Then, after it was finally installed, it kept dropping data packets when I connected it to my MediaOne Road Runner. I had had enough! I took it back, and then went out and spent $40 on a Linksys...it took 1/2 the time to install the software, and it worked perfectly after the first try...no data loss!

I installed 2 cards as part of the home network kit and they worked immediately and without problems. I instantly had all 3 of my home computers linked together and could share files and play games. I just installed the Midpoint Lite software and can share my internet cable connection on 2 computers. The 3rd has a network card from a different vendor, and the software won't work with it (manual states this explicitly). I came here to buy another one ... I've not had any problems with the card and it zips!

it took me at least 30 minutes to install the software alone. one problem i had was that the software installation manual was located on the (ancient 3 1/2") disk. so when the win98 plug&play wizard pops up it's best to cancel it first and then read through the README files. one of the problems had to do with the way the win98 cabinets are arranged and you must know the location of the files it asks you for. after the installation i had no problems whatsoever. this card runs like a dream. my connection speed has shot straight through the roof, running between 100 and 200 Mbps! i don't know why this card retails for so high, but for Amazon's price, i can afford to sacrifice what i used to refer to as "download time."

I purchased this card to network my computer with my college's server and the installation was sooo easy! It has the plug-and-play for automatic installation and gives me 10 or 100 mbps full duplex. It was so trouble free that my roomate also picked one up for her computer and now we both are connected on our campus.
