Using the QNAP 2.5Gbe unmanaged switch for 3 PCs that all have 2.5Gbe NICs. They are segmented on their own VLAN coming from pfsense firewall appliance which also has 2.5Gbe. After updating the drivers from the Realtek site as per the pamphlet that came in the box along with a small form factor screw driver and 2 screws (using case screw to match black aesthetic) and the 2 I/O plates, then it unlocked the full menu in the interface's controller properties. Also was getting closer to the 2.5Gb speeds on local network, RDP feels smoother and stable connections without drops. There is some irregularity in the iperf3 tests though. Not getting the irregularities from 3rd PC to main PC so not sure if it's driver related or just an issue with the Realtek chipset of this card. Overall though satisfied with the price to performance and hope there will be future driver updates, not counting on it though. For what I need it to do, be a stable RDP connection it seems to be holding strong and helps not feel laggy like it did with the default 1Gb port on the X370 Taichi Mobo. This is an improvement. If you do want a blacked out PCB and the bright green LED isn't visible while doing work then this is a good 2.5Gbe card. Also make sure you get the latest driver from Realtek, out of the box is not fully unlocked. Happy packets :) Review: Great little NIC - No fuss with windows 11. Installed the card and it just works. Purchased the 2.5gb model and speeds are as advertised. I also like the black finish since I have a black case and motherboard. Very inexpensive card. I can’t speak to the longevity of the product since I haven’t had it that long. ## Features - ⭐【10G Network Card】 ：Adopting Intel X540 Controller, it provides up to Dual Lan 10 Gbps of extreme speed to ensure the stability of Internet access and local data transmission, effectively preventing packet loss and making the server more stable. - ⭐【Network Interfaces】: Two independent Ethernet interfaces for 10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX applicationgs (IEEE 802.3an, 802.3,802.3u, and 802.3ab), supports Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX. - ⭐【PCIe to 10Gbe RJ45】: This 10G BASE-T PCIe network adapter converts PCIe slots (X8/16) into 10G RJ-45 Ethernet ports.

It’s pretty fast, didn’t need any extra drivers (I run windows 11) and works well. I use it to directly connect my NAS. No issues at all. ## Frequently Bought Together - 10Gb Dual LAN Base-T PCI-e Network Card, Intel X540 Controller, NICGIGA 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2 * 10Gbe RJ45 Port, 10G NIC Card, Support Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Vmware/ESX - 8 Port 10G Ethernet Switch Unmanaged,with 8X 10Gb Base-T Ports, NICGIGA 10Gbps Network Switch Easy for 10G NAS,PC,WiFi7 Router,10G Adapter/NIC.
