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.
Windows 10 Pro support VLANS Jumbo Frames More ports than i could ever use.
Sleek, has a great weight to it, reliable, we'll built and we'll made. I tested this product on my new macbook without a Ethernet port, lightning fast connectivity compared to the built in wireless. I'd recommend using a monoprice (add-on item) cat6 cable to your switch, wall or router. Very impressed. A lot of these new laptops, dell's, apple, hp, are standardizing on USB c 3.1 reversible connectors. As far as I can tell nobody can match Startech quality and power. I'd recommend also any traveller to put this in their breifcase for hotels and conferences to get high throughput relaiable gigabit Ethernet speeds. Support solid product, highly recommended. . Another great Star Tech product.
Indicates 2.5GbE connection. Halves my transfer times compared to gigabit. Very inexpensive.
No pros plug and play
