TP-Link 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

11/22/2025System built 2013 (1st PC)Windows 10 (updated recently right before MS dropped all support)Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V Pro (updated iwht the latest BIOs)Onbard NIC: Intel 82579V Gigabit, Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 WirelessOptional NIC: Intel Giggabit CT (released around 2010), installed on bottom black PCIe 2.0 x16_3 slotInternet Speed Plan: 1GbpsNever used the onboard NICs, strictly ued the Intel Giggabit CT NIC for many years, was getting between 850-950Mbps, rrecently noticed it capping out at a little less than 400Mbps. Have a 2nd system, which is a clone of the first, it has the same Intel Giggabit CT NIC and is working fine, getting about 900Mbps. I took that NIC from the 2nd PC and installed it on the 1st PC, and got an average of 900Mbps, that proves that there is something wrong with the NIC on the 1st PC. I reinstalled the bad NIC on the 1st PC, did the same again, caps out at less than 400 Mbps, and got to the point where it intermittently does not even work at all.I started temporarily using the onboard NICs, both will intermittently lose connection after inactivity, system set do not go to sleep, only the monitor will, even tried turning off "Allow Windows to turn off device to save power", but to no avail, requiring a reboot to get either one working again temporarily, pretty sure it's a driver incompatibility issue with Windows 10, due to the outdated NICs. This issue will happen at least a couple of times per day.TP Link TG-3468 using RealTek chipset, I read some reviews of it dropping connection in Windows 10 and was worried that I may run into that also. Received it, the RealTek chip is RTL8168H, which is version 4.xx. Installed it and using Windows driver 9.1.410.2015, so far on the third day, no issues at all, getting between 850-950Mbps consistently, even after long inactivity. The Windows driver do not even show the Power Mangement tab in Device Manager, so it does not go to sleep (if Power Managerment tab is showing, best to uncheck the let it go to sleep to save power option". As long as Windows driver is working fine, no need to try TP Link's or RealTek's drivers.For $15, can't ask for more.

Bueno producto, adentro trae lo reducción por si tienen CPU slimLo recomiendo

Works as described, plug and play. Immediately recognized by Windows 11 and working at full speed (1 Gbit/s).

Desidero condividere la mia esperienza con la scheda di rete TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter, che si è rivelata una soluzione eccellente per migliorare la connettività del mio computer.L'installazione della scheda di rete è stata semplice e veloce. Grazie all'interfaccia PCIe a 32 bit, ho potuto collegare facilmente la scheda alla mia scheda madre senza alcun problema di compatibilità. In pochi minuti, ero pronto per godere di una connessione di rete più veloce e stabile.La velocità e le prestazioni offerte sono state eccezionali. Con il supporto per la connessione Gigabit Ethernet, ho sperimentato un notevole aumento della velocità di trasferimento dei dati. La mia connessione Internet è diventata più fluida e reattiva, consentendomi di eseguire streaming e download senza interruzioni o ritardi. Sono rimasto colpito dalla stabilità della connessione, che si è mantenuta costante nel corso del tempo.La qualità costruttiva della scheda di rete è stata altrettanto impressionante. La TP-Link è un marchio affidabile nel settore delle reti, e la loro attenzione per i dettagli e la durata si riflettono anche in questo prodotto. La scheda è stata progettata con componenti di alta qualità, che garantiscono una connessione affidabile e durevole nel tempo.Infine, il prezzo della TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter è stato estremamente conveniente, considerando le prestazioni e la qualità offerte.

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. :-)

Feel premium. Easy to setup with only about 10-15mins from opening to using. Works as needed. Went from 1Gbps from the motherboard, to 5Gbps with this card. 10Gbps isn't offered to me just yet, although I don't think I'll have any troubles. Has a large heatsink that seems plenty.

TP-Link manufactures quality networking gear. Over recent years, I have relied on a TP-Link modem and I currently running TWO TP-Link routers, one as a 'root' router, the other as an 'extender/bridge' router. Always rock-solid and reliable. (I retired the TP-Link modem only because TP-Link does not manufacture a stand-alone DOCSIS 3.1 modem.)Note that there has been, over the years, four versions/itinerations of this (1 Gigabit PCI-Express) card. Sold and shipped by Amazon, I received Version 4.6 of the card. So Amazon is selling (direct) and shipping current stock. You can check the version of the card by looking at the label on the outside of the box … or at the sticker on the card. Oddly, the MAC address is not given on either the box or the card; if you need it, you will have to snag it out of your router's DHCP list.Installation into a WinXP SP3 w/ circa-2007 Intel mobo was quick and straightforward:All the drivers come in the box on a mini-CD but to be sure I would be current, I instead downloaded the most current Version 4 XP drivers from the TP-Link support webpage for the card. That was a .ZIP file; I extracted all the files into a temporary folder. Powered down the computer. Snapped the card into a vacant PCI-Express x 1 slot on the mobo. Powered back up and got the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" pop-up. The XP driver install instructions provided by TP-Link (at their website) were very close, but not entirely 100% spot-on; if I recall correctly, from the pop-up I followed the path:InstallFromAListOrSpecificLocationDon'tSearchIWillChooseTheDriverToInstallHardwareType (choose NetworkAdapter)Don't bother to choose a specific adapter from the given list, instead click onHaveDisk, then Browse (to the .inf file in the temporary folder), then Open it.Click on OK. Ignore incorrect driver warnings and click ContinueAnyway.(I think the warning is being 'thrown' by the fact that the TP-Link card is built on a Realtek chip & drivers.)Bam! Device and drivers installed. Device is named 'TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Adapter.' The three needed driver files were dropped into the Windows/System32 folder. Swapped the Ethernet cable onto the card. Opened ControlPanel/NetworkConnections. Disabled the mobo Ethernet port, renamed it 'Mobo Ethernet.' Enabled the TP-Link Ethernet port, renamed it 'TP-Link Ethernet.' Deleted the temporary folder. Rebooted the router, just to be sure. Up and running !!I didn't pick up the download speed improvement I was hoping for, but I've definitely excluded the Ethernet port as a speed constraint. (Paying for 1Gb, pulling 220Mb … time to get a techie out here to test the speed at the coax connector!)In any case, this card is very inexpensive … and it is also a quick, easy solution under XP and older mobos.

ótima placa de comunicação, recomendo, já estou utilizando a algum tempo e me atende completamente. Recomendo
