JP1082 No 030818 appears to use a Realtek RTL8153-class chipset. For reliable gigabit performance, use the Realtek-provided drivers (Windows/Linux) or a vendor-supplied signed macOS driver for macOS systems. Without these drivers, expect limited speed and instability.
A: Yes and no. Monterey (macOS 12) and later dropped support for many unsigned Realtek drivers. You can try the official Realtek driver for macOS from the Realtek site, but you may need to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection).
