Fantastic buy at knock down price. I bought this as just moved to FTTP at 900mbps speed. Fitted it to my SFF pc and tested the speed compared to me previous on board Ethernet this delivered more than 250mbps more speed than previous and knocks out a whooping 630mbps using Ookla speed test. Really pleased with and highly recommended. Easy to setup as plug and play, downloads updates at lightning speed functionality is good no update drivers necessary with windows 11.

Exactly as described. Dropped into my gaming pc and started getting the full whack of my fibre speed straight to the pc. No drop outs, no issues. very easy setup, Recommended item for full speed gaming and super fast browsing!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of this inexpensive Ethernet card. Setup was easy, and it worked right out of the box without any driver issues. Despite the low price, the connection is fast and stable, even during heavy usage. Download and upload speeds are just as good as with more expensive cards, with no noticeable lag or dropouts. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable option, this card delivers great value for the money. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a simple upgrade without breaking the bank!

These work out of the box with ProxMox, no modification required at all and I'm achieveing the full 2.5gbit speeds with a TP-Link 2.5gbit 8nport switch.

Good price for a decent product. I like TP LINK gear (got a POE switch and some TAPO IP cameras) and this feels well made. WARNING though. Uninstall any VPN software on your PC before installing this. Once you have installed it and updated the drivers then reintall your VPN software. This is a problem with the card its cause the VPN wont have configured around the the card. Took me a few mins to realise that Nord VPN was letting the new connection through.

Windows 11 immediately detected the 10gbe card. It comes with Cat 6a ethernet cable with is nice extra. There is a micro DVD disc included but, I had no issues with windows detecting the card however, could be useful if issues detecting the card or no internet connection. Both Low-Profile and Full-Height brackets is included. Issue is that the network card can run hot but, that is common for 10gbe cards so good airflow is needed. The colour tp-link choose is odd personal as red heatsink is quite noticeable in my all black computer as everything from GPU to motherboard, and CPU heatsink is all black. Personal I would think a all black network card would be far better. Overall it is good 10gbe network card with a good brand however, would be nice if it was black.

I was having a lot of issues around the house with Wi-fi speeds. I tried everything and then eventually stumbled on to the new Wi-fi 7 protocol. I picked up this small PCIe adapter and popped it into my 4 year old desktop. What an incredible performance boost this gave my old machine. I used to sit at my desk watching and waiting for screens to appear. Now they just pop up onto the screen almost instantaneously. This was the best investment I can think of to improve the performance of my old machine. I thought I was going to have to buy another desktop but this should make my older machine good for another couple years. Pretty much all it does is web research so there’s not much of a load on the old machine. This new Wi-fi adapter improves the performance much more than increasing the memory did. The card is a small PCIe card that fit into a half slot in my old machine and what I really like is it has an external antenna so even though my machine is buried in the corner I can put the antenna up where it gets a better signal. I don’t even have a Wi-fi 7 router yet and I can tell you that this card made such a huge improvement in my Wi-fi reception I cannot wait to upgrade my router and really get this thing blazing. One caveat to keep in mind is that this card only works with Intel CPUs so if you have an AMD you’ll have to keep searching for the appropriate Wi-fi 7 card. This card also does Bluetooth which again improves the performance of my older machine immensely. Overall I thought this card would get me a little bit better Wi-fi performance. Instead it brought my old machine into the 21st century. If you want to really improve your WI fi performance I recommend getting a Wi-fi 7 router and a card. If that’s not in the budget I can tell you this card alone improved my Wi-fi performance. It’s easy to set up. It functions perfectly it does everything I needed it to do and more. If you need a new card for your desktop, make sure to investigate Wi-fi 7 cards before purchasing one. In my opinion, this card is a great value and met all my expectations and then some.

This WiFi card works perfectly in my custom build—everything fit together easily with no issues. The magnetic base is a great touch and keeps the antenna firmly in place on my metal desk without slipping. The overall quality feels great. Nothing about it feels cheap—the cables are solid and durable, and the build feels like it’ll last a long time. Performance-wise, it’s impressive. My internet speeds are almost identical to my wired Ethernet connection, with only a tiny drop in speed. For the price, this card performs just as well as (or better than) more expensive brands. If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable, and fast WiFi card with a convenient cable length and strong design, this is an amazing value!

Problemlos eingebaut, Bluetooth und WiFi funktioniert einwandfrei. (Win10, Asus ROG Strix B450-F)

Habe diese Karte nach schlechten Erfahrungen mit einer Variante von Asus gekauft. Auf dieser TP-Link TX401 ist noch der alte AQC107 Controller drauf. Positiv: + Gute Verarbeitungsqualität + ASPM unterstützt und kodiert + EEE funktioniert einwandfrei, einschließlich EDPD + 10 Gbit/s werden in beide Richtungen erreicht (unter Linux und Windows) + LP-Slotblende dabei + Cat 6a Kabel dabei Negativ: - Windows und Linux erkennen hohe Exit-Latenzen (>64us) für ASPM Standby-Zustände und wollen diese daher standardmäßig nicht aktivieren. Alles in allem eine gute 10G-Karte zu einem verträglichen Preis.
