Realtek Virtual LAN Drivers on Windows

Sometimes you may need to have Virtual Lan drivers on your machine to connect various applications or for them to work correctly. VLAN  Drivers depend majorly on what type and company’s NIC card is there in the machine. Most of the Broadcom / Intel NIC cards have NIC / LAN management applications available on their website. Companies like Realtek does not offer this support in an open way. Below is location where you can install the Virtual LAN Drivers for Windows XP / Vista / 7 and their LAN Management utility as well.

This Teaming Utility is the VLAN Network Management utility. This will let you install an additional Virtual LAN Adapter on your system. Sadly the installer will only work for Windows Vista and above, for Windows XP use the below extracted utility which should be able to do the same task without the need to install.

Download the file and extract to the desktop. Run the RTDIAG.EXE then select the Realtek NIC Card, Click on VLAN. Wait for 5 mins and you will see a new Virtual LAN adapter is added. Use the same utility to remove the Virtual LAN Adapter.
