TP-Link TG-3468 Gigabit PCI Express network adapter 10/100/1000 Mbps PCIe 32-bit interface White

The TP-Link TG-3468 Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter is a stable wired Ethernet solution for desktop computers, providing high-performance gigabit network connectivity through a 10/100/1000 Mbps port and a PCIe x1 interface. The device is designed to improve computer network connectivity, especially when the built-in network card does not support gigabit speeds or is damaged.

Key Advantages

• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) → provides fast data transfer and stable network connectivity for everyday internet use and data transmission

• PCI Express x1 interface → direct connection to a desktop PCIe slot using a fast and efficient data path

• Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX → automatically adjusts speed and cable type, eliminating configuration errors

• Supports 802.3x Flow Control → designed for data flow control and improved stability in full-duplex mode

• Wake-on-LAN support → allows the computer to be powered on remotely via a network signal

• Wide OS support → compatibility with popular Windows versions; some sources indicate Linux support depending on drivers

• Easy installation → plug-and-play with standard PCIe slots in desktop PCs

• PCIe-optimized dimensions → compact design that does not interfere with other expansion cards
