Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Netgear FA-310TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Card
Customer Review: Great Medium Sized Company/SOHO Card
Summary: 5 Stars
As a network administrator in an enterprise enviornment I agree that generally you wouldn't use this card in a corporate enviornment. But large companies buy products in bulk and they get the deals that the everyday user doesn't get. But, in all honesty you could probaly run this card with no problems on an enterprise level network -- the performance is great especially for $15.But for general networking in a medium sized/soho enviornment you can't beat it. This card seems to work with every system I have installed it on -- no matter the platform or OS.
Its cheap, well documented, and easy to install. Is there anything else really to say?
Customer Review: NetGear is TOPS with Me!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like the others who have reviewed this item, I am an MCSE, MCP+I and am/have been a network administrator in very large enterprise environments. I have a home network which is 100% NetGear equipment (ISDN router, 10/100 hub, FA310TX NICs).The NetGear by Bay Networks is a simple, cost effective NIC. You plug them in and they work. Simple. They are also Win2000 compliant (so Win2K will find them automatically). Sure, they cannot be remotely managed, but then again, I have never had cause to remotely manage a NIC (a switch port, yes...)
I wholeheartedly recommend the FA310-TX. The most bang for your buck! I'm buying more right now!
Customer Review: Top line LOW price
Summary: 5 Stars
I beta test software. I have been on 3 of the 4 listed below betas. The card has always preformed even under the beta operating systems. This is the only card I install. it is one of the most compatible cards I have ever seen and I have tested this card on Windows 95,98,98se and Windows ME* without any hitches so far. if you are looking for top performance for a low price this is the card. it is very compatible with all systems. a very user friendly card. you may want to check out their hubs too. very affordable.
*note* Windows is a register trademark of Microsoft. I'm not indorsing it but merely using it as a compatibility reference
Customer Review: Simple, Cheap and Effective
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply put, the Netgear FA310TX works. It is an extremely simple card, but not much is required in a ethernet card. Those of you needing WOL support (why?!) should not purchase this card, as it does not support it. The speed and throughput is consistant with more expensive cards, my LAN does not require speeds up to 100Mbps anyway, but it is good to know it is there. The cards are good priced, so it will not cost much to outfit a small network with these cards, I have one in every desktop in our LAN. They work, what more could you ask?Customer Review: Netgear FA310TX is the best NIC on the market...
Summary: 5 Stars
I would never recommend another network card... this card was perfectly detected by 2 verisons of Linux I have, as well as a copy of UNIX without any installation. The card is extremely reliable and my company has bought 20 without any problems, especially good for retail machines like COMPAQ's. PCI card requires no assigning IRQ's. Fast 100Mbps, and great support. Comes with a driver disk with any driver for any OS. Fully supported in Win2k as well... even better than the classic NE2000!
