Hello,

 

i have the following build:

 

Mainboard: Asrock J3455 ITX Motherboard
RAM: 4 GB RAM - 1 Slot used
HDD: 10 TB WD White (from an External WD Case)
Onboard NIC: Disabled in BIOS (not showing up in DSM 6.2.2).
Current NIC: USB 3.0 to Ethernet
NIC Chip: ASIX AX 88179

 

 

DSM Version: DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 5

Loader: 1.04b - DS918 with "Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+"

 

Unfortunately my USB 3.0 NIC is not working stable. So I would like to buy a good NIC PCIE Card. I am looking for an cheap option with native driver support?

Is there any card which will work with my Build and DSM-Verison?

Thank you for the quick answer.

 

I have the following network card built in:

 

Realtek RTL8111GR

 

I have now tried the June 1.04b Loader with DS918 but without the driver extension. For my surprise the USB to LAN Card is working now again.

 

But can I use the built in Realtek Card? Then I would get rid of my USB to LAN Dongle
