Review: Essential to future proofing your system - I recently upgraded the network at my home. I ended up wiring all rooms to Cat8, and installed a Wifi 7 Mesh based on 2 Eero 7 Max routers. I know what people say: it's too fast, I'll never need it, etc. However, if I'm spending days in the attic pulling and fishing network cables all over the house, I'm going to install the latest standard wiring. This way, I don't have to worry about it again, probably for decades. This card was the second to last item that needed upgrading my entire network: my PC connection. The existing port maxed at 1GB. This card was the 4th card I purchased from desertcart, by the way. And it was the best outcome. 1st try was a much cheaper alternative. It supported 10/2.5/1gb speeds on paper. However, it started having temperature issues. The card would get so hot, it would start dropping the connection. I was worried about fire hazards as well. 2nd try was a more expensive alternative (the entire card was covered with a nice shiny red heatsink!). However, it only supported 10/1gb. Max 7 has 2.5gb ports as well. Why settle for slower? 3rd try was a generic card running on Intel chipset. It was advertised as 10/2.5/1, however, in reality, it was only 1000/100mb. The speed tests were obvious. My suggestion: go with this card. Excellent component overall. Here's a little review: 1. Good temperature distribution, heatsink is pretty large, and effective. 2. The drivers are available on the manufacturer's website. You don't need to keep searching into the depths of internet, like some intel models. 3. This card utilizes PCI Express 3.0. If you look at the market, overwhelming majority of cards are designed for 2.0 architecture. Being able to utilize 3.0 is an advantage. 4. Jumbo frames: I'm not big on this topic. If you are using NAS or Outbound VPN, I can see the advantage. My current router does not support it anyhow, but I checked the options, you can change the driver settings and utilize 16kb frames if that's what you'd like. 5. Price range.. Excellent hardware for this price point. 6. High and low profile brackets for different cases (not very useful, but thoughtful) Overall... The card works. I can get 1gb/2.5gb/10gb. The speed test result is attached for 2.5gb. I'll update the post once I receive the 10gb switch. PS: Little known issue with 10gb ports on routers and switches... Most hardware today, come with 2 ports that can support 10gb. Sounds great, right? However, the practice is a little bit different. Port 1, is used for input (from your modem) (in my case, my ISP, who can provide 8gb fiber input, so it's a must). Port 2, is used to connect your 2nd router for mesh purposes (this way, you have a 10gb backhaul, assuming you have the necessary wiring). Guess what? No port left for the PC or any other hardware. Therefore, until I buy a 10gb switch, and route the mesh through the switch, I won't be able to test 10gb on the PC. Seeing how this card handled 2.5gb, I have no reservations, I'm sure the card will outperform as I came to expect. Review: Great way to upgrade a motherboard that maxes out at 1Gbps - I upgraded my fiber internet service from 1Gbps to 2Gbps, but my motherboard's built in ethernet maxed out at 1Gbps. This product was the perfect solution to use a spare PCIe slot and upgrade my connection. One tip, I was having issues when the computer was idle. Seems the PCIe slot was being put in a low power state and when I'd come back to use the PC, I couldn't connect to the internet. So, I looked into the following power saving settings in the card's properties, changed them and it resolved the issue: I set each of these to a disabled state: Energy-Efficient Ethernet, Green Ethernet, & Power Saving Mode. Now my internet is rock solid and stable. This was a great upgrade! ## Features - 2.5GB ETHERNET PORT: 2.5G network adapter supports three speeds: 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, and 100Mbps over standard Cat5e cables at distances up to 100m (328 ft.) - NDAA + TAA COMPLIANT: With our NDAA and TAA compliant Network Adapters, you can plan and install networking solutions that Government customers demand today (U.S. and Canada Only) - MANUFACTURER PROTECTION: We stand by the quality of our products.The TEG-25GECTX 2.5GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter is backed and supported with 3 years of TRENDnet Manufacturer Protection. - RELIABLE TECH SUPPORT: Our team of advisors, support and tech experts are English speaking, and available for all your needs during normal business hours.

This was a great upgrade! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stable in Windows, 10G speeds... can't ask for simpler reliable card. *by A***N on June 4, 2025* Working well and stable on a Windows 10 machine, connecting at 10gbit without any issues. SFP+ transceiver is Ubiquiti 10G going to Ubiquiti Enterprise 8 PoE switch SFP+ port, same transceiver. Simple plug and play with Windows, but user reviews here are accurate, download the Marvell AQN-100 drivers and there is a firmware, which can be accomplished in Windows. Once driver is installed it will be ID'ed as "Marvell AQtion Felicity Network Adapter" ... everything working seamlessly, much easier managing files on the home environment with the speed boost from 1g to 10g. Its an extremely compact card (and heatsink) compared to the Mellanox ConnectX3 which was having stability issues installed in the same box.
