    TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Network Adapter (TG-3468)

    • I replaced one of these that had gotten fried by a nearby lightning strike
    • My computer was hit by lightening 1 and 1/2 years ago and it fried my on board Ethernet card, I bought a gigaware USB ethernet adapter at that time it lived 1 year with out fail until another lightning strike
    • If I had known this I would have replaced it sooner even without the lightning strike taking out the integrated motherboard Ethernet.
    • Needed something to add Ethernet to an old Dell Optiplex 755 tower PC.The original Ethernet port was fried by lightning strike

    • and i was up and running after a lightning strike knocked out the port on my motherboard.
    • Worked great as a replacement for the integrated one after a lightning strike.

    • Simple NIC to replace one nuked in a lightning strike.
    • My onboard ethernet died after a lightning strike and I wanted the reliability of ethernet rather than a wifi card.

    • We had lightning strike in the yard the day before the motherboard's RJ45 stopped connecting.

    • I suspect a lightning strike...
    • Had a lightning strike knock out the NICs in the old PC I was using to run pfSense
    • Recently my internal, mother board integrated Ethernet port was taken out by a lightning strike along with my WI-FI Router and Cable Modem
    • I choose TP-Link because that is what my WI-Fi Router was before the lightning strike and I replaced with the same Archer C8 that was destroyed by the lightning.
    • I liked that it worked.
    • Just worked as soon as I powered it up.

    • Long PCI-E slots are backwards compatible with shorter ones, so this card should fit comfortably in any PCI-E slot just fine
