functionally fits perfectly in the pc, but even with the right divers if your mother bord already has 1 gig support, this device won't get you anymore speed.it actually made my Latency worse.

The WAVLINK 2.5G Base-T PCIe Network Card arrived packed ina printed cardboard box.In the box you get the network card itself (with a full height case bracket), a smaller low profile bracket (suitable for use in NAS cases etc) and a short instruction manual.Installation is a simple matter of plugging the card into a spare PCIe slot and securing the bracket.No drivers are necessary with Windows 11 and the card is immediately recognised on reboot.Card performs well although unless connecting directly to another similarly equipped PC or a NAS with 2.5Gbe ethernet, you will need a network switch with at least a 2.5Gbe port before you'll notice any difference in network transfer speeds.A well featured network card at a bargain price.

Suppose to be plug-n-play. Did not work for Win7ULT. Had to get a driver off the internet.What I can not understand, if a driver is needed and you do not have internet access and themanufacture does not include it with the item, how can you get it to work if you do not haveanother computer to download the driver..I know it cost more money to include the driver onmedia but it should always come with an add-on card..I did get the card to work after someinstallation problems. So far worked for 2 weeks with no problems, would not say its real fast.

As sometimes happens with delivery services, things can become a little damaged during transit. In our case the box was a little battered in one corner and unfortunately the heatsink had come off the card. Normally if this happens you really should send it back to amazon for a refund or exchange.However, in our case we managed to repair it ourselves and we soldiered on.The card itself looks well made with a clean layout. Swapping the full size backplate for the half height one was easy enough, and fit perfectly in a low profile slot. The heatsink once fitted proper didn’t pose much of a risk for other cards, and during heavy transfers didn’t really get that hot anyway.When in use, on our network (primarily a 10G fiber), we saw steady 237MB/s over the network and this was using our old Cat5e ethernet drops from our 10G NAS. We had it plugged into the 2.5G port on our MikroTik RB5009 10G capable router.No software was included in the box, and seemingly very little in the way of product information that I could find on the wavlink website about it except for a link back to the drivers page at Realtek. The card uses the RTL8126 so is well supported, and it seems they have drivers going back as far as XP.Not a bad card, quite an easy upgrade for most PC. Just keep in mind that you need a 2.5G switch to get the most out of this upgrade, and if you’re planning on transferring network data, a spinning harddisk isn’t going to cut it as they tend to max out around 180MB/s. While this is still a lot more than 1Gig ethernet, you’d be better off using an SSD for transfers.A nice simple card, that should work plug and play with every system you’re wanting to upgrade. A must have if you’re planning on getting one of the faster than gigabit ISPs.

I've used this 2.5g nic to expand my x470 based mobo's networking - uplink to a that I'm using as an aggregate switch with great success. This NIC runs rather warm, but even when hot the stability has been top notch. It also came with both a full height and a half-height mount which I though was a nice touch.

Most motherboards typically have an ethernet port built in. However if you need one - this card is relatively cheap and well built doing the job. Simply needs plugging in - then modern versions of Windows should detect it and install the correct drivers. Gone are the days you needed to install drivers from a CD or download from an extremely slow site for hours.Speed is super fast and reliable for file transfers across servers or as an internet port.
