  • Easy Install. Plug & Play.
For my computer running the latest update of Windows 10, installing this device was painless. I simply installed the card into a PCIe slot and turned it on and it was instantly working. The drivers installed themselves and I instantly was transferring packet at 2.5Gbe. I couldn't ask for a more painless experience. I have not experienced any reliability issues and I have been using it daily for about a month now with almost a terabyte of data gone through it. Works Great and Good Price. ... show more

  • Works great in Unraid 6.11.5 & 6.12.3
I ordered the TRENDnet 2.5GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter, TEG-25GECTX nic for my Unraid server because my new internet connection is 2 Gbps and this card looked to be a fantastic value if it would do the trick. Well, it did the trick. It came up out of the box in Unraid and I added it to my existing two bonded 1 Gbps cards and unraid has done the rest. I've had it working at between 1gbps and 2.8gbps non stop for a week. Works fantastic, what a great value. Edit 7/21/2023 - Also works on Unraid 6.12.3 ... show more

  • Solid NIC
Using this for my server running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, works great! I have it running to a QSW-2104-2S switch, to my personal PC and it instantly negotiated a 2.5G link and runs at ~2.3G which is more than acceptable for me. I also have internet running through one of the 10G ports via a SFP+ to RJ45 adapter and it works great! Full speed there too. ... show more

  • Easy plug and play with Linux
I am fantastically pleased with this purchase. With LMDE 6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition) on both sides, it is literally plug and play - and no farting around with compiling drivers and having to set ' ethtool ' values manually. According to ' lspci -k ' it simply uses the r8169 kernel driver. Using a 2.5Gbit switch in the middle (ienRon 6 Port 2.5G Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, 4 x 2.5 Gigabit Base-T Ports, 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP) -- also available here on amazon -- I'm getting ~181MB/sec out of the box (default MTU 1500) from Ramdisk /dev/shm to Ramdisk with a 5.8GB Bluray file. As 2.5Gbit is pretty much the last gasp of CAT5 cabling, this is outstanding value if like me, you want it to Just Work - and be faster than stock Gigabit Ethernet. Primarily I use Linux and Mac; I was getting much worse results with multiple 2.5Gbit USB3 adapters and was about to give up on 2.5Gbit when I decided to try PCIe x1 cards. Would definitely buy this card again! ... show more

  • Inexpensive - reliable- stable and fast!
The Trendnet 2.5GB NIC was super fast to install and get running. I installed the driver first, shut down the computer, popped the lid, installed the NIC, buttoned it up and did a restart. I didn't even shut the old 1 Gig NIC off in the bios setup. I just plugged the Cat 6 in and the OS (Win 11) took care of the rest. Worked great without any complications. ... show more

  • Unlocked the few extra 100mbps the onboard network card couldn't
Xfinity recently upgraded me to 1.2gbps down but Plex server connect via Ethernet was still maxing out at 500-600mpbs. Even with a new cable modem to support the lastest Docsis standard and Cat 6 ethernet cables I was not getting close to the speeds I should have. Took a chance with this network card and wow this made a huge speed difference. I'm not getting 800-950mbps consistently. The only limit now is my router with a 1Gbps wan port. I'm sure in the future when I get a new router that supports 2.5Gbps I'll be able to truly max out the speed. In summary, for the price I'm super happy with this network card. ... show more
