Because of its popularity and occasional shortages, the market is currently flooded with Counterfeit and Remarked chips. If you are buying from the open market, you need to be extremely careful.
Installing a fake I210-AT can lead to packet loss, driver incompatibility, or total system failure in the field.
1. The "S-Spec" Trap
Intel chips are defined by their S-Spec code. For the WGI210AT, the most sought-after S-Spec is S LJXR.
The Risk: Unscrupulous brokers often take cheaper, commercial-grade, or older revision chips (like the I210-IT or I211) and laser-remark them as "WGI210AT S LJXR".
The Consequence: Your firmware will verify the Device ID. If the silicon doesn't match the label, the official Intel drivers will refuse to install, or the connection will drop under load.
2. How to Identify Genuine Stock
When sourcing WGI210AT, ask your supplier for these proofs:
✓ S-Spec Match: The Top Mark must clearly show "S LJXR".
✓ Traceability: Can they track the Lot Number?
✓ Physical Condition: Look at the QFN pins under a microscope. "Pulled" parts often have bent pins or residual solder, while remarked parts have a rough surface texture (blacktopping).
