- Intel card works with every device NIC I have with no issues - Worked at 1, 2.5 and 10GB for me with no issues - two ports - Can team depending on the OS


I plugged it in. It worked with existing cabling. I cant argue with that.

Anything less than a functional switch at these speeds would get zero eggs lol

Does exactly what its supposed to do with no complexity or difficulty. Virtually plug and play.


Just plug n play, no hassles. Had it running in minutes

- Just plug and play in Windows 11 Pro. - I received 2 Card TX401, and both work like a charm. - Big upgrade on my local network, on a 10 G Switch. - Again, rock solid, good heat sink size, should be reliable for years... - It's Rj-45 , so no need to upgrade for fiber... for now. - Never had a problem with TP-Link to be honest.

I found the new computer and my needs for USB 2.0 slots were at odds. This was exactly what I needed to work out my needs. Great delivery time also. Got to play quicker than I thought. Love it when a good plan comes together. Doesn't always go that way anymore :-) !!!

All 8 ports are POE Have increased speed from older Gigabit units.

+ 802.3af compliant + 4 PoE ports + 8 10/100/1000Mbps ports + Ideal for homes and small businesses - great for the price + Networking monitoring + VLAN + Traffic prioritization + QoS

No issues, dead simple on CentOS 7

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.


Very easy to install and use

Pro: Excellent and *consistent* performance, very easy initial setup, all 24 ports are full gig, and this unit comes with rack-mount hardware if you are so inclined

I guess it's working as it should. I bought this to replace the on board card built into the motherboard. Lightning hit the cable which completely destroyed the modem, router and another computer. This computer was and is downloading and uploading normally but I sometimes have long waits as I see "resolving host". This card is no better than the on board one.

Its a switch from TP-Link. They make great all around products for the price point!

Gigabit capability. Plug and play, it's an unmamaged switch, perfect for what I needed. Automatic sensing of port speed is fail-proof even on older (ancient actually) slower equipment I have. Quiet, it doesn't need a fan and runs cool with 7 of 8 ports connected.
