I have a Lenovo laptop purchased several years ago that has a poor wifi plus the built in ethernet is only 100mbps which I found was pretty standard with regular laptops unless you're willing to spend for a high end one. My internet provider gives me 600mb/s but I was only getting about 50mb/s with the built in ethernet and even less with the wifi. I purchased this adapter and right away I'm getting close to 400mb/s when plugged in directly to my router! This adapter is the solution I've been trying to find. Pros: -This was simple to set up on my Windows 10 laptop. -It was working right out of the box and I've had no issues with it. -Great price
Server sounds really impressive until you realize that it's just a pcie x1 slot. On the other hand, pcie x1 slot. I put it in a half size slot because it makes me not have to fight with a video card. Points up. This won't be apparent to you unless your card has ports facing another way. Get this one and save yourself a headache you will wonder why you even have.
- Easy setup. Used in OPNSense setup on a custom system. Recognized without issue.
- Easy switch to HH bracket - Performant open-source drivers
I needed this nic to replace on built on the motherboard that got trashed by lightning and because of the low profile bracket. Installed the card, installed the drivers from the cd provided. All worked well.
Works as said and gets the speeds I need!
I can assign each port individually in pfsense. Plug and play.
Fast! Frees up resources instead of using integrated NIC! Great Linux Support!
