BrosTrend 5Gb PCIe Network Card, PCIe Ethernet Card with Extra Low-Profile, PCI Express Network Adapter for PC Windows 11/10 & Windows Server 2022 ONLY, PCI-e to 5 Gigabit NIC Lifetime Protection

If you are looking for a NIC to get you to multigig speeds here is your card. Excellent bang for the buck. I have not been able to test it over 2.5Gbps since that is what I have it plugged into, but it does that without issue. Speed testing over my 2Gbps internet connection is yielding 2.1Gbps up and down. I suspect this card will achieve 5Gbps. Worked out of the box, but worked better once I downloaded its actually driver. I see no appreciable change in CPU usage, although its in a system with an i9 Processor. Overall its a great value.

Installation was a breeze. Now that I'm fully connected, my carrier's speeds are amazing. I'd buy again in a heartbeat if I needed another adapter.

I upgraded my internet baud rate to 2.5 Gb, but my computer couldn't manage those speeds with the standard internal Ethernet board, so I got this 5 Gb PCIe board. It was easy to install, basically plug & play, but I did download the latest driver, but it immediately worked and I was able to take advantage of the new speeds. I did also get a new 2.5 Gb powered switch, since I had other things I needed to plug in to my new faster router. I also needed to upgrade my cabling to Cat6 or better...I chose Cat8 cables purchased here on Amazon, along with the switch. All work GREAT!

Getting the 2gig service I signed up for now that I upgraded from a 1 gig NIC card.

I first ordered the TP-Link tx401 10gb and it dropped connection every couple of seconds. I tried everything to get it working but looking in event viewer it said hardware failure and handshake error in my router live view. I returned it and ordered this 5gb network card. I installed it and windows instantly recognized it. I updated the drivers for it from the BrosTrend website because windows installed drivers from 2015, but they did work. The card is fast and stable and hasn't dropped my connection one time. My ping is lower, and websites load quicker. I highly recommend this card and would buy it again if I need another one.

Works the way it should work.

The Windows 11 driver is unstable and does not maintain a high speed connection. The motherboard ethernet connection is much faster. I am using cat 6 cables so cables are not the issue. The driver gets stuck in a loop when installing and hangs up the whole computer forcing a reset. I am pulling this out of my PC. For me, this is a waste of money.

EXCELENTE ME RESORVIO UN PROBLEMA QUE TENIA ASE MUCHO TIEMPO GHZ YA APARESEESTA NITIDA RAPIDA Y FIABLE
