This is a self-extracting compressed driver file that contains the Windows driver for Realtek NIC chip. Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capability at high speeds. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, it offers high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable. The Realtek RTL8168 Gigabit Ethernet controller driver combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, PCI Express bus controller, and embedded memory. An example of an adapter is the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector which uses the Ralink's RT2570 chipset to allow Nintendo DSs and Wiis to connect to the Internet via a home computer.Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Driver) Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller Ralink chipsets are used in various consumer-grade routers made by Gigabyte Technology, Linksys, D-Link, Asus and Belkin, as well as Wi-Fi adaptors for USB, PCI, ExpressCard, PC Cards and PCI Express interfaces. Ralink was a participant in the Wi-Fi Alliance and the IEEE 802.11 standards committees. They have also been previously selected in the Wi-Fi Protected Set Up (WPS) and Wireless Multimedia Extensions Power Save (WMM-PS) testbeds.

Some of Ralink's 802.11n RT2800 chipsets have been accepted into the Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n draft 2.0 core technology testbed. On Ralink was bought by the Taiwanese company MediaTek.

Originally founded in 2001 in Cupertino, California, Ralink moved its Headquarter to Hsinchu, Taiwan. was a Wi-Fi chipset manufacturer mainly known for their WLAN chipsets.
