Works well, consistent. Must install intel drivers. Much better than the realtek USB dongles.

As multigig internet connections are becoming more common, the tinkerers among us are gonna wanna outfit our custom firewall appliances with a NIC that supports those speeds and we don't wanna break the bank doing it.This NIC will do that job nicely! I'm running my pfsense firewall in a small form factor Dell optiplex. I'm running pfsense CE 2.7.2 and it does support ALTQ traffic shaping schedulers. Another user pointed out that they couldn't get it to run on theirs. Maybe they're running an older version of pfsense? Maybe their other NICs don't support it?I already use an i225 NIC in my firewall, but I'm looking to deploy more so I bought these to test. I like what I see so far! Even includes a screwdriver making the full height and half height bracket swaps easy. My test setup connected this NIC as the WAN port to a Hitron CODA56 cable modem. I'm able to get 1.4gbps download speeds and...because it's only cable, 230mbps upload.

This card reports the connection speed as 2.5Gbps, but it performs close to 100 Mbps.See the iperf3 results:[ 5] 0.00-1.01 sec 7.50 MBytes 62.6 Mbits/sec[ 5] 1.01-2.01 sec 11.5 MBytes 96.5 Mbits/sec[ 5] 2.01-3.00 sec 11.2 MBytes 94.7 Mbits/sec[ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 11.4 MBytes 95.3 Mbits/sec[ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 11.4 MBytes 95.2 Mbits/sec[ 5] 5.00-6.01 sec 11.2 MBytes 94.3 Mbits/sec[ 5] 6.01-7.00 sec 11.1 MBytes 93.4 Mbits/sec[ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 11.1 MBytes 93.5 Mbits/sec[ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 11.2 MBytes 94.5 Mbits/sec[ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 11.2 MBytes 94.3 Mbits/sec- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 109 MBytes 91.4 Mbits/sec sender[ 5] 0.00-10.05 sec 109 MBytes 90.6 Mbits/sec receiverA different card on the same computer and the same switch perform as expected.[ 7] 0.00-1.00 sec 283 MBytes 2.36 Gbits/sec[ 7] 1.00-2.01 sec 281 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 2.01-3.01 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 3.01-4.01 sec 281 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 4.01-5.01 sec 281 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 5.01-6.00 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 6.00-7.01 sec 281 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 7.01-8.00 sec 279 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 8.00-9.01 sec 282 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 7] 9.01-10.01 sec 280 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate[ 7] 0.00-10.01 sec 2.74 GBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec sender[ 7] 0.00-10.01 sec 2.74 GBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec receiver

Dropped two into an old low profile PC, detected and functional in OPNsense 24.7. Getting the full 2.0gbps speed now from WAN. Works fine with my trashy 10/2.5g switch. No issues so far.

Detected fine in an Asus AMD x570 motherboard. No windows 10 drivers automatically found. Unfortunately Intel's website makes it a bit harder than it should be to find drivers. Search for "Intel Network Adapter Driver for Windows 10". Version 29.1 installed without issue. I ordered a second one and will update review if there are any problems.Edit: Also working fine on another ASUS AMD x570 motherboard on windows 11, a Gigabyte A520 board on windows 10, and an ASUS Intel H770 board running Debian Linux.2.5 GB link throughput:[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate[ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 284 MBytes 2.38 Gbits/sec[ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 283 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec[ 5] 2.00-3.01 sec 284 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec[ 5] 3.01-4.01 sec 281 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 5] 4.01-5.01 sec 284 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec[ 5] 5.01-6.00 sec 279 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec[ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 283 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec[ 5] 7.00-8.01 sec 284 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec[ 5] 8.01-9.01 sec 281 MBytes 2.35 Gbits/sec[ 5] 9.01-10.01 sec 284 MBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate[ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 2.76 GBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec sender[ 5] 0.00-10.02 sec 2.76 GBytes 2.37 Gbits/sec receiver1GB link throughput:[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate[ 5] 0.00-1.01 sec 115 MBytes 962 Mbits/sec[ 5] 1.01-2.01 sec 107 MBytes 893 Mbits/sec[ 5] 2.01-3.01 sec 113 MBytes 943 Mbits/sec[ 5] 3.01-4.01 sec 113 MBytes 942 Mbits/sec[ 5] 4.01-5.00 sec 111 MBytes 944 Mbits/sec[ 5] 5.00-6.01 sec 112 MBytes 940 Mbits/sec[ 5] 6.01-7.01 sec 111 MBytes 929 Mbits/sec[ 5] 7.01-8.01 sec 112 MBytes 941 Mbits/sec[ 5] 8.01-9.01 sec 112 MBytes 941 Mbits/sec[ 5] 9.01-10.00 sec 111 MBytes 944 Mbits/sec- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 938 Mbits/sec sender[ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 1.09 GBytes 936 Mbits/sec receiver

This eventually worked quite well once I figured out a few things. For starters, when plugged into my PCIe X1 port, the lights went on but Windows never detected a device at all. I thought it was defective, but U moved it to an X16 port and suddenly Windows detected the device. However, Windows still had no idea what type of device it was and did not automatically download drivers even though I had my original network card/connection still available. It was simply an exclamation point "Unknown network device". Since the product comes with zero drivers or even much in the way of documentation, I had to go hunting for the chipset and compatible Intel I226-V drivers. Once that was installed, all worked as expected and speed tests show a nice bump.The only problem I have with this card is that it has VERY bright lights that flash constantly. Even when the computer is OFF! I've turned off Wake from LAN but it still stays flashing away while the PC is off. Very annoying.

Im Einsatz im unraid 7 Server eingebaut sofort erkannt es geht auch die max angegeben Geschwindigkeit durch.

Scheda davvero ben fatta, finitura delle staffe nera opaca e led di stato verdi molto luminosi. I contatti PCIe sono addirittura coperti con un piccolo "tappo" in plastica e la confezione contiene anche un cacciavite per il montaggio. Davvero ottima e molto più stabile della "vecchia" I225 allo stesso prezzo!

Leider werden die Datenpakete nicht erfolgreich übertragen, und die Verbindung bricht immer wieder ab. Die Netzwerkverbindung wird dann nur durch Neustart wiederhergestellt. Dieser Intel Chip I225 ist ja bekannt für seine vielen Probleme. Ich habe es auch mit separat installierten Treiber nicht lösen können.
