10GB PCIe Network Card (TX401)-PCIe to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter,Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Servers 2019/2016/2012 R2, and Linux, Including a CAT6A Cable

Looks great, easy setup, no heat issues as it sits right under my 3 fan GPU sucking the heat from it and my front fan bringing in cold air plus it has a great quality heatsink attached to it help disapate heat from it, solid internet speed and no issues so time will tell seams solid for gaming my fps are stable and no heat increase from my GPU TP link has great driver support as well.

Work perfect no lag spike much better then a modern ethernet external adapter worth it easy put in into a Pc ATX frame.

Could not get the 10GB Network Card to work properly at all on my Windows 11 PC. Downloaded all the proper drivers (Marvell AQtion and the 2.6 package from TP-Link's website), and the card would run into an issue where after hitting certain speeds or after 3 minutes, the card would just shut off. I looked at the power requirements, and I met them, as I have a 1050W power supply. After 3 hours of troubleshooting, which included unselecting the “Allow this computer to turn off device to save power” option, I just gave up. I returned the TP-Link Network Card and took the advice of other people I saw having the same issue, which was getting a 10GB Intel Network Card off eBay. That one worked easily after a driver update. Not sure if the TP card was just a malfunctioning card or something going on with my PC, but considering the Intel card I got works, I am going with the former. If you get this 10GB TP-Link card, I hope it works for you. If not, I recommend just going with an Intel card instead. Way less of a hassle.

Working fantastic in my Truenas server. Was willing to spend a little more and pick this up instead of used enterprise 10gb nics on ebay. Have it running 10gb directly to my main pc which has a marvel 10gb port. Has been working flawlessly for nearly a year now. I have a fan running air over it just in case, so runs cool as a result.

The TX-401 has been great and rock solid ever since install. Installation was quick, however, I made sure to download the drivers before-hand, as Windows didn’t instantly recognize the device. I installed the card using a free PCI Express X16 port just next to my GPU. Since this is a PCI E x4 connector on the card, it fit perfectly on my Mobo. I’ve been very happy so far with the network card, and haven’t experienced any disconnects. I’ve also been able to fully utilize my over-provisioned 1.2 gbps Xfinity internet connection speed, using an SB8200 modem with link aggregation to an Asus RT-AX89X router, and then connecting my PC with the TX-401 network card to the 10G ethernet port on the router. The results have been a pretty consistent 1,100-1,300 mbps download speed (up to 1,400 mbps down on low traffic nights) when tested with Speedtest.net. In addition to typical workflow, gaming and game downloads have been fast with low latency experienced. I don’t think the low latency can really be attributed to the card, as I always had good ping times while using my onboard 1gb NIC, but just thought I’d share. In addition, in order to achieve the above results, I’ve changed a few of the adapter settings in windows after a bunch of googling, and using suggestions from a bunch of websites (there’s a good list of suggestions on a Steam forum under the title “Guide :: A Better Online Gaming Experience - Steam Community” (you can find it easily if you google). I suggest if you experience issues at first with the card, check your settings first to make sure it’s not just misconfigured. To name a key setting that’s caused some people headaches: “Recv Segment Coalescing for IPV4 and IPV6” should be ‘Disabled’. I can’t say much from the LAN and server side of things, as I haven’t really speed or stress-tested these features, however, I have confidence that should I need an NAS, I’ll be able to maximize the 10G network speeds using my router and network adapter combo. I highly recommend this product, but will check back if I experience any issues over the next few months.

It's a good card, but you should install the latest drivers after receiving it, especially if you see random disconnects. The new drivers might just fix it. Details: I was initially very disappointed with this card. I purchased two of them, and both of them would frequently disconnect while running on windows 10 machines. Neither machine had problems when using their onboard LAN. Both machines were fine when transferring large files to each other's shared drives at 10gb speed, but internet speed tests would make them crash, even though our modem can only do 1gb. I assumed that the cards were both dead on arrival, possibly due to overheating. I was wrong. After I contacted TP Link, they put me in touch with a person who identified themselves as a Senior Engineer, and asked me to install a "Beta Driver". That made the connection much more stable. With the new driver, it would only disconnect very rarely when downloading a game from steam, but other use cases, like speed tests, were now stable. A few more months have passed, and now it no longer disconnects, even when downloading games from steam. I don't know if Microsoft patched something, or Steam patched something, but the problems have stopped with now further driver changes. The beta driver that helped me was: beta/2022/202211/20221102/win11.zip The newest windows driver on their site is: TX401(UN)_V1_221202_Windows So it looks like they may have now released that beta driver, or an even newer version, so you can get it without chatting with support for an hour. One final note: I read elsewhere that disabling 'Recv Segment Coalescing' for IPv4 and IPv6 could make cards that use a Marvel Aqtion 10g chip like this one more stable. I don't know if this would help because by the time I learned about it, my card was stable both with this feature on and off, and having it on seems like it might make downloads faster, so I left it on.

keep crashing during heavy usage, skip this and spend more for intel x550.

Acabo de instalarla en dos PCs y las conecté directamente (sin switch ni ruteador) una a la otra con un cable cat8 de 10 metros que compré aquí mismo en Amazon. Mi necesidad de esta tarjeta es poder intercambiar archivos a alta velocidad entre ambas computadoras. No compré aún un switch de 10Gbps porque son caros y de momento no tengo más equipos a esta velocidad. Por ahí ví algunos comentarios que dicen que la velocidad no es la prometida. Estoy seguro de que o no estaban usando un cable calificado, o están tratando de alcanzar la velocidad con un switch/ruteador que no admite esta velocidad. Todo parece estar funcionando perfectamente, los drivers los identificó Windows Update por lo que no tuve que instalar nada de Asus. Adjunto una foto de una transferencia que hice de prueba de un archivo muy grande de una PC a la otra, la cuál muestra una velocidad completamente estable y a la velocidad esperada. Se copió rapidísimo. Muy satisfecho de momento. :-)

I have ordered 3 of these 10gbps cards. One of them was a dud and died after using it for a few days. They are cheap though and get good performance so 5 stars

This is Windows 11 compatible, which is the main reason I bought it, but it performs very nicely, connects to my 10Gb hub just fine and seems to get near its rated speed. There's always some overhead, but this is holding up its end nicely so far. It is a bit pricey, not sure why 10Gb kit is still so expensive compared to plain old gigabit stuff.

Works as expected
