Vogzone 1Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card for Intel I350-T2V2,10MbE/100MbE/1GbE Copper Dual RJ45 Ports, with Intel I350-AM2 Chip,1GbE PCI Express 2.1 X4 Ethernet Adapter Support Windows/Linux/VMware

Our home network is connected to the internet. We also run a light show at Halloween and Christmas. We have a segregated nor the light show. There is a single Windows 11 PC that needs to connect to both networks. It runs the software that controls the lighting equipment so it needs to access the lightshow network. But we also need it connected to the network - to receive software updates, search for troubleshooting tips etc. This card did the trick. We just built a "new to us" PC. Many of the components were spares that we had lying about. We had a fairly recent motherboard where the on-board network had gone bad but everything else worked fine. The motherboard only had a single ethernet port. Added this to our build and now we have two ethernet connections and we can connect to both networks simultaneously. Plug it in, boot it up and it works. Windows recognzes it instantly. Configuring the attachments to two different networks was simple (that is more of a Windows function). Simple to install, works like a champ

I received the I350 dual RJ 45 ports without heat sink. Build quality feels and looks good even though I Can't verify if components and chips on nic are 100% authentic. I added my own heat sink using cheep heatsink from a assorted raspberry pie kit with thermal tape. Windows 11 detected card as Intel i350 T2 current Intel driver has appeared to updated fine directly from Intel. Basic speed test appear to be on par with other gigabit nics I have that are genuine Broadcom and Intel .. gaming latency feels good and streaming and YouTube videos are as expected and normal.. so far it's a great alternative to more expensive cards.

Just a great server-class Ethernet card, all around. Plug and play with most up-to-date operating systems, and my card was immediately recognized both in UEFI setup and in the OS. Excellent performance, as you'd expect from the I350, and more stable than the RTL chips that were built into my PC's motherboard. Build quality is impressive, and a low-profile slot bracket is included. I was pleasantly surprised that the card came with a heatsink on the controller chip, despite being shown without one in the product listing photos. Overall, high quality and strong functionality. Recommended.

It's pretty decent if you need to get a computer/server going, though I have my reservations on this card compared to other Intel cards. It works at least. It did work out of the box on a Pfsense machine as a test.

Easy install & good speeds: Installing this card was pretty standard as far as the hardware goes, and it integrated immediately with windows 10, with no software hiccups at all, although I haven't tried it with my linux yet, which may involve driver downloads to work properly. The speeds are also as advertised, and so far both ports have worked just fine. Overall, this is a good product and I would recommend.

I got this to add to a windows PC to run Pfsense in a Hyper-V VM. It was super easy to install and drivers installed automatically. I don't know if pfsense has the drivers for this to run well just in pfsense, but it's working great with both NICs virtualized. I don't know if it can get all the way to 1 Gbps each, but it can definitely do over 500 Mbps simultaneously (that's the max speed from my ISP). Definitely recommend.

I got this to add a couple more 1 GB ethernet ports to a HP Z2 SFF G9. A small form factor case. The card did come with the shorter bracket. Swapping brackets was easy and it was Plug-n-Play with Windows 10. Now I have two more 1GB Ethernet ports and they work well, I've seen file copies exceeding 600 Gb/sec. I think it's limited by the server I'm copying to. "Just works", works well, good industry standard card!

So it was a bit of a pain to get this installed but it ended up working fine in the end in my Windows machine. That said, I ended up realizing that I wanted something with a bit more speed and already am planning on swapping it out for something faster. Still, it works well and I'm not unhappy with it and don't want to knock it for doing what it says it will.

I recently installed the Vogzone 1Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card in my desktop setup, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with its performance. This network card comes with dual RJ45 ports and is powered by the Intel I350-AM2 Chip, which is known for its reliability and solid performance in network-intensive tasks. I was looking for a network card that could handle my growing network demands and provide stable and fast connections for both work and personal use. This card has delivered exactly what I needed. The installation was seamless, and the card worked right out of the box on my system, which runs on Windows. It was automatically recognized, and I didn’t face any compatibility issues. The setup process was straightforward, and I didn’t need to install additional drivers, which made the whole experience very user-friendly. Additionally, the card supports both 10MbE, 100MbE, and 1GbE copper connections, which is great for various network environments and gives me flexibility depending on my connection requirements. I've tested the dual RJ45 ports by connecting multiple devices, and the speeds have been consistently fast and stable, which is especially important for my home office. One of the standout features of the Vogzone PCI-E Network Card is its support for VMware and Linux, which makes it an excellent choice for those who need to set up a more complex server or virtual environment. The 1GbE PCI Express 2.1 X4 interface ensures that this network card has more than enough bandwidth for demanding tasks, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in overall network speeds compared to my previous card. Whether I’m transferring large files across my network or conducting video calls, this network card keeps everything running smoothly. I highly recommend the Vogzone Network Card for anyone needing a reliable and affordable solution for their network setup.

Since this in an Intel i350 based network card, it is incredibly simple to get going. Just plug it into any PCIe 4x or greater slot and turn the machine on. If you are running any current version of Windows, it will work right away. Updated drivers are easily available directly from Intel for most OS and server environments, so there's minimal searching if you even need to. I had no issues connecting this to my 2.5G ethernet switch and everything just worked.

This card just works. I didn’t have to do anything, plugged it into my PC, booted up, and Windows installed the drivers automatically. I’ve got it set up to hardwire my NAS, and I’m getting full gigabit speeds without any issues. Transfer rates are solid and consistent. Kind of refreshing when a piece of hardware just works out of the box. Great card!

I use this dual 1GBe network adapter on a computer that I use as a router. I have a 10Gbps network infrastructure with a 4Gbps symmetrical Internet connection. I use this adapter for secondary devices such as TVs and printers. First and foremost, in the box, you get the network adapter and an SFF bracket (so it can fit in smaller computers too). Installation is very easy and you don't need to install a driver on Windows 11 or OPNSense. Once installed, I got to test it and I'm able to get gigabit speeds both locally (LAN) and through a speed test (WAN), therefore this adapter does exactly what it needs to do. My setup has good airflow so I haven't had any overheating issues, but this adapter runs warm. So make sure that your computer has good airflow, or install a fan on top of the heatsink of this adapter. Overall, for a 1Gbe network adapter, this works really well!

This PCI-E card is an easy way to add dual gigabit network slots; the PCI-E capability ensures adequate bandwidth even with both NICs running at full speed. I tested this in my desktop, but ordered it for a future server build to accommodate my two distinct physical networks (I physically isolate my exterior network to avoid someone from unplugging a security camera and gaining access to my network). I’m using these in an oversized PCI-E x16 slot without issue 0- I’ve never used a peripheral smaller than the slot before. Windows 11 detected the card and set it up appropriately without any intervention. The card is listed as two items in Device Manager – “Intel(R) Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2” and “Intel(R) Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2 #2”. Speeds of both NICs are as expected for a gigabit connection, allowing approximately 850Mbps in my case, limited by a shared connection. Overall, this is a solid choice if you are looking for a dual NIC solution and are good with gigabit speeds.
