What this card adds to a desktop

The Wavlink WL-NWP001 puts a single 1G RJ45 port onto any free PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. It is aimed at owners of older boards with failed onboard Ethernet or at builders using a mini-tower case that needs a low-profile bracket.

Metal shielding and bracket choice

A metal cover reduces electromagnetic interference while the heatsink keeps the RTL8111H controller cool under load. The box includes both a full-height and a low-profile bracket plus two screws so the card fits standard and slim chassis without extra parts.

Replacing a 100Mbps link or dead onboard port

The jump makes sense when your current connection caps at 100Mbps or the motherboard port has stopped working; the card negotiates 1000, 100 or 10Mbps automatically and works with existing CAT5E cables. Buyers who need multi-gigabit speeds or a second independent port should look elsewhere.
