TP-Link 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter(TX401)
Arm Your PC with the Latest 10G Speeds
PCIe 3.0 Slot to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter
Upgrade to 10G Networking
10 Gigabit Ethernet reaches blazing-fast data rates up to 10 billion bits per second-10× faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. It’s a brand-new era for all your bandwidth-intensive tasks from local data transfers to internet access.
Local Data Transmissions in Seconds
For local connections, a 10G PCIe adapter helps build a lightning fast transport channel between a central server and other working machines in your local network. Local data transmissions will be a breeze for you as you handle bandwidth-intensive tasks easily at your home or office.
Versatile, Multi-Speed Compatibility
10GBase-T is backwards compatible with multiple data rates, including 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and 100 Mbps Base-T connectivity. The 10G Ethernet port automatically negotiates between higher and lower speed connections, allowing you to upgrade to 10G networking smoothly.
QoS Support
A Bandwidth Buff for Gaming
Quality of Service technology ensures enough bandwidth and avoids network congestion for PC gaming. It delivers prioritized performance for gamers.

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.

So far it appears to be pretty good. The chipset appears to be of the Marvell AQtion variety and seems to be stable. This replaced an SFP+ based NIC with the same chipset that dropped the connection on occasion.

For people who don't want to spend unnecessary amounts of money on a Wifi card for their desktop build, this is a very good option. On my Windows 11 build, it came right up without needing additional drivers; it seems that Windows 11 has support for the chipset in question included in a standard install.If you are a Linux user, you'll want to know in advance that the chipset in this adapter is the Realtek RTL8812AE. Check your distro for driver support using the chipset, rather than the TP-Link model number, to find the right driver. TP-Link does not directly offer its own Linux driver.I found no problems with build quality or the included antennas. Everything fit without having to force or slightly bend backplates, etc., and if you prefer to use a different pair of antennas just order a pair of the very common RP-SMA Male Wifi antennas that almost all Wifi cards use these days. That said, the included antennas do the job nicely, getting almost as good throughput from opposite my house though multiple walls as when in the same room as the WiFi router. You probably won't need to get other antennas.Please keep in mind that this card does WiFi, but NOT Bluetooth. If you need that, either a more expensive dual-purpose card or getting an inexpensive USB Bluetooth dongel (no reason you should spend more than 6 or 7 dollars on such a dongel) would fit the bill.

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. :-)

***UPDATED***I originally purchased 2 of these T4Es.Unfortunately for me, both had to be returned.I was really happy with them initially, I just wish there was some sort of support, or even more importantly to me, acknowledgement from TP-LINK.No such luck, they just recommended disable, uninstall, delete, and reinstall the drivers.I'm sure in the near future there will be a solution, but I spent frustrating hours trying my hardest to enjoy my purchase.***PROBLEM(s)***So,After about 10 days or so, one of the cards starts dropping, then reconnecting to, the 5G signal, over, and over, and over.Sometimes taking 10 minutes to reconnect, only to disconnect again within a few minutes."Driver Disconnected While Associating""Driver Disconnected While Associating""Driver Disconnected While Associating"The 2.4G signal - no problem - "steady as a rock"Uninstalled, disabled, deleted, reinstalled the 1 and only driver TP-Link provides, many times over.After a few days of this nonsense, I plugged in a USB 5G adapter I had laying around - (TP-Link Archer T2U)Installed the drivers for that....No problems whatsoever.Holds the 5G signal without a hitch.No errors.2 days after that, on a different machine, the other card starts doing the exact same thing!"Driver Disconnected While Associating""Driver Disconnected While Associating""Driver Disconnected While Associating"Once again....The 2.4G signal - no problem - "steady as a rock"Pulled them both out of the machines.What good is buying a 5G card that only works on 2.4G?Reinstalled my "tried-and-true" TL-WN881ND (2.4G only) in the other machine.So I sent them both back.Ain't gonna' deal with this unnecessary BS in my life.Purchased (2) TP-Link Archer T4U USB adapters for the time being.Will be watching for updated drivers (and reviews) and maybe purchase again.Maybe a Rosewill RNX-AC1900PCE, ASUS PCE-AC68 / AC88, or the TP-Link T9E.***ORIGINAL REVIEW***Purchased 2 of these to upgrade desktops with crappy built-in cards.Both installs quick & as easy as pie.Averages 220Mbps on the 5GHz band.(Spectrum 200Mbps Service, NETGEAR AC1900 Gateway)Purchased on sale for $23.99.Everyone's happy!Great product!Great upgrade!
