Setting up Ethernet Card TP-Link RG-3468

[latelunch]

Hey everyone,

I built my Hackintosh over a year ago and once I got everything to work properly, I stopped messing with it. Over the past few months I've had an increasing amount of crashes most likely associated with a faulty ethernet port on my motherboard, where after a few hours or when trying to transfer a lot of data over the ethernet port it would crap out, so I bought a TP-Link ethernet card model TG-3468 to use instead.

By default it's not working, and I believe it requires a special kext to work properly. I was wondering if there was a tutorial or if anyone had guidance on this. It's been so long since I messed with any Chameleon settings so I wanted to tread lightly back into that world.

Thanks,
John

That card is based on a Realtek 8111 chipset, so it should work with the Realtek LAN driver in MultiBeast. Just rerun MultiBeast and select only that driver; it will be installed without touching any of the rest of your configuration.

Just wanted to follow up on this thread and report that the TP-Link TG-3468 also works for me in High Sierra 10.13.6 after installing driver via Multibeast.

Thank you all for another helpful thread!
