Questions & Answers

I am having issues with my new network interface card (NIC) and my on-board NIC is still enabled. What do I do in Windows?
Sometimes an on-board network interface card (NIC) conflicts with a new NIC. In these cases it is best to disable the on-board NIC. The best way to disable your on-board NIC is to go into your BIOS and disable it there if possible. To do this, consult your motherboard manual. You can also disable any NIC in Windows. Here is how you do this: First click Start , or, in Windows 10 and 8, hold down the Windows key and press X . Then click Control Panel . Windows 10 Click Network and Internet . Click Network and Sharing Center . On the left, click Change adapter settings . Right-click the NIC that you would like to disable and select Disable . Windows 8 Click Network and Sharing Center . On the left, click Change adapter settings . Right-click the NIC that you would like to disable and select Disable . Windows 7 Click Network and Internet . Click Network and Sharing Center . On the left, click Change adapter settings . Right-click the NIC that you would like to disable and select Disable . Windows Vista Click Network and Sharing Center . On the left, click Manage network connections . Right-click the NIC that you would like to disable and select Disable . Windows XP Click Network Connections . Right-click the NIC that you would like to disable and select Disable .

Why do I have speed or connectivity issues?
If you are experiencing speed or connectivity issues, it is best to set a specific speed at half or full duplex in your settings. You can set your network adapter to perform at a certain speed, but the device that the adapter is connected to (whether it is a router, switch, or computer) must also be able to perform at the same speed. Note : You must log in as the local administrator before you continue. To open Device Manager: Press Windows key + R . Type devmgmt.msc . Click OK . Open the Networking adapters section. Right-click the network adapter that you want to change and select Properties . Click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to Speed & Duplex . By default, it is set to Auto-Negotiate . Select any of the speeds that you see in the list. Click OK and restart your computer.

Can I use my network card for a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)?
StarTech.com does not support a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) as this requires third-party software. However, our devices can be used as long as the following conditions are met: The BIOS must support PXE. The BIOS must see the card. The environment must have drivers for the chipset used in the card. If using a USB networking card, the environment must have support for USB devices as well.

Can I use a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 5 device on a USB-C or USB4 port?
No, a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 5 device requires a Thunderbolt-enabled port and will not work on a USB-C port that does not support Thunderbolt. Explanation: Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and Thunderbolt 5 use the USB-C connector, but they require Thunderbolt protocol support from the host port, cable, and device. Compatibility rules are as follows: A Thunderbolt device (Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5) only works when connected to a Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C port. A standard USB-C port without Thunderbolt support does not support Thunderbolt devices and will result in no functionality. USB-C devices are compatible with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and Thunderbolt 5 ports because Thunderbolt includes USB support. USB4 ports may support Thunderbolt 3 devices, but this support is optional and not guaranteed. USB4 does not ensure compatibility with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 5 devices. To confirm compatibility, look for the Thunderbolt symbol on the host port, cable, and device. If the Thunderbolt symbol is not present, the connection supports USB-C only and does not support Thunderbolt devices. All components in the connection must support the required Thunderbolt standard to ensure proper operation and full performance.
