Frequently Asked Questions - RC-410LX Rosewill

How do I install the RC-410LX network card?

Power off your computer, open the case, insert the card into an available PCIe x1 slot, secure it with a screw, close the case, and power on. Install drivers from the included CD or download from the Rosewill website.

Is the RC-410LX compatible with my motherboard?

It requires a PCI Express slot (x1, x4, x8, or x16). Most motherboards built after 2005 have such slots. Check your motherboard manual for available PCIe slots.

Does it support Wake-on-LAN (WoL)?

Yes, this card supports Wake-on-LAN. Enable it in your operating system's network adapter settings and ensure the motherboard also supports WoL.

What operating systems are supported?

Drivers are available for Windows 10/8/7, most Linux distributions, and macOS. For Linux, the r8169 driver often works automatically.

Why is my network card not being detected?

Ensure the card is fully seated in the slot. Try a different PCIe slot. Check that the card is enabled in BIOS/UEFI. Install the correct drivers and restart your computer.

Can I use this card in a low-profile case?

Yes, the package includes a low-profile bracket. Replace the standard bracket with the low-profile one before installation.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The green LED indicates a valid link (connection), and the amber LED blinks during network activity. No light means no connection.

Is the RC-410LX compatible with Gigabit Internet?

Yes, it supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. For Gigabit speeds, ensure your router/switch also supports Gigabit Ethernet and use Cat5e or higher cables.

Does it support Jumbo Frames?

Yes, this card supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K bytes. Enable it in the network adapter advanced settings for improved performance in large data transfers.

How do I update the drivers?

Visit the Rosewill support page for the RC-410LX, download the latest driver for your OS, and run the installer. Alternatively, use Device Manager on Windows to update automatically.
