TP-Link 2.5GB PCIe Network Card (TX201) – PCIe to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Win Server 2022/2019/2016, Linux

Finally, what I needed. Because of my huge video card using most of the space. I was forced to use an external USB type C Ethernet network adapter because none of the network cards would fit under the GPU, however this compact card did the trick, and it works like a charm. Top speeds every single time I test it.Besides working great on Windows 11, It also, works very well on Linux for me. It was not even necessary to install any Linux drivers for it to work. It was recognized out of the box, just plug and play. In Windows 11 though, it was a different story as it didn't take advantage of my full Fiber internet, until after installing the drivers for Windows 11 from the TP-Link site.

The TP-Link 2.5GB PCIe Network Card (TX201) has been working flawlessly so far. Easy installation, good build quality, and no issues with connectivity or speed. It delivers the full 2.5Gbps as expected, making a noticeable difference in my network performance.It’s also great that it supports Windows and Linux without any hassle. Overall, a great quality adapter at a reasonable price—highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their network speed!

I installed this card in a server so that I could get 2.5 Gbe out of my Cat5e wiring. It works great and I get full throughput. The server has Proxmox and I had very little trouble getting it working thanks to the widely used Realtek chipset. Worth the money!

I have Xfinity 1200 Mbps package with the worst Upload speed. I highly doubt fiber will ever be installed where I live. You get what you get living in an unincorporated area of a city (mostly rural).I bought this to replace 1 GB ethernet card I have. Installation was quick and easy. Once I downloaded the new drivers from TP-Link and the restart, my speed improved. I couldn't be happier.Having had AT&T Quantum/Gigabit Fiber, I miss having the symmetrical Download/Upload speeds. Being able to reach over 1000 Mbps download does help.

Good performer, easy installation and full functional right out of the box. Only time will tell on performance and reliability, but so far it's good value for the money. Installed in a Dell XPS 8930, recognized, no driver ask, just works as advertised. Recommended.

I installed this in my desktop computer when I upgraded my home network to 2.5G. It was instantly recognized and worked right off the bat. I didn't have to fiddle with drivers and speed tests showed it was working as it was supposed to. I can affirm that it is Windows 11 compatible. My connection has been stable. I installed it and that was it. I haven't had to think about it since.

I purchased this TP-Link 2.5GP PICe network card in order to upgrade my desktop to take adantage of my upgraded network.Installation was very easy. Just find you available PCIe slot, snap it in, then boot up your PC. I was initially concerned about hardware conflicts because my original network adapter is soldered to the motherboard and not a separate card.But, once I completed the install, connected the ethernet cable to this card and rebooted, Windows 10 immediately recognized it and I had full internet access.While I only have 1GPs internet, I upgraded my network with 2.5GPs hardware to take advantage of the higher transfer speeds. Prior to upgrade, I was getting between 100mbs and 117mbs transfer speeds. After the upgrade, I now see transfer speeds in excess of 280mbs.Overall this is a great network card and really worth the upgrade if you can take advantage of the increased internet or transfer speeds, then I recommend this TP-Link network card

Both seem to work. Added these into mine and my gfs pc and both into a cheaper 2.5 gig network switch. Doing file transfers between both shows it hits the advertised speeds. Seems like a good value.If the stability changes or signal strength degrades I’ll come back and update the review but as of now I don’t have any complaints.
