Frequently Asked Questions - ENW-9701 Planet
How do I install the ENW-9701 network card?
Power off your computer, open the case, insert the card into an available PCIe slot, secure it, close the case, and power on. The operating system should automatically detect and install drivers. If not, download the latest drivers from Planet's support website.
Which operating systems are supported?
The card supports Windows 7/8/10/11, Linux (kernel 3.x+), and macOS (limited support). Check the manual for specific versions.
Why is my network speed only 100 Mbps instead of 1000 Mbps?
Ensure your Ethernet cable is Cat5e or higher, the router/switch supports gigabit, and the card is set to 1 Gbps Full Duplex in the adapter properties. Also check that the driver is properly installed.
Does the ENW-9701 support Wake-on-LAN (WoL)?
Yes, it supports Wake-on-LAN. Enable it in the device manager under power management and also in the BIOS settings. You may need to configure the magic packet on the sending side.
What is the maximum cable length supported?
The card supports standard Ethernet cable lengths of up to 100 meters (328 feet) when using Cat5e or better cabling.
Can I use this card in a PCI Express 3.0 or 4.0 slot?
Yes, the card is PCIe 2.0 x1 but is backward and forward compatible with PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 slots. It will operate at the highest speed supported by the slot.
How do I update the drivers?
Download the latest driver from the Planet ENW-9701 support page. On Windows, run the installer. For manual update, go to Device Manager, right-click the network adapter, select 'Update driver', and point to the downloaded folder.
What does the orange LED indicator mean?
The orange LED indicates that the link speed is 1000 Mbps (Gigabit). If the LED is off, the speed is 10/100 Mbps. The green LED blinks for activity.
Is the card compatible with Linux?
Yes, it uses the Realtek r8169 kernel driver which is included in most Linux distributions. For optimal performance, you may need to install the proprietary driver from Realtek.
How do I troubleshoot if the card is not detected?
Check that the card is firmly seated in the PCIe slot. Try a different slot. Verify that the BIOS settings have not disabled the onboard network. Reinstall the drivers. If still not detected, the card might be faulty; contact Planet support.
