Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Driver is an essential system configuration software that enables Windows OS to establish a full interface with the computer’s CPU PCI Express (PCIe) bus to a Fast Ethernet (FE 100Mbps) network.

Without the presence of this very crucial driver, your home computer will not be able to instantly recognize and connect to your local Ethernet network or establish an internet connection.

After many years of use in PCs from all around the world, the popular FE Family Controller was augmented with the newer version of this standard called Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps), which remains fully compatible with the slower FE (100Mbps) standard.

Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Driver comes in both external (as an add-in card for desktop and laptop PCs) or internal forms (as a controller chip that is fused into the motherboard), but in both cases, you can install drivers to them to enable this popular networking solution to work at peak of its capabilities, stability, and speed.

To install a new driver, simply find the one that perfectly matches the model number of the network adapter and activate the installer executable that will guide you through the entire process.

In the event of the manufacturing driver (loss of network, errors in transmissions, and more) which you will be able to spot either through the Device Manager error report or via status message in networking options in the Control Panel, users are encouraged to activate the most recent stable System Restore point, to reinstall a driver, or to try to find the newer version of Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Driver that may bring with it new bugfixes, new features, and stability options.

PROS

Enables connection to Ethernet network.
Supports both FE and Gigabit Ethernet.
Available in external and internal forms.
Easy driver installation process.
Provides stability and speed optimization.

CONS

Dependency on driver for network functionality.
Potential for driver-related errors.
Troubleshooting may require hardware replacement.

If the networking error cannot be fixed with the software changes, then you must explore the possibility of faulty networking hardware. If you are using FE Family Controller via a detachable PCIE card, simply exchange it with a new one.
