In Wired Networking

This is the real deal. It comes with full and half height brackets.

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

No software set up required, cheap, easy fix for more ethernet ports. Sometimes wireless just doesn't cut it.

Plenty of ports for running my home wired network. Plug and play.

Plug and Play. Put this into my Windows 10 x64 machine and it recognized it immediately. Have full 1.0 GB connection.

I purchased 2 of these. one to put in my desktop and the other to put in my truenas server. truenas core will not support this card. I had to update to truenas scale for it to recognize.

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 :-) !!!

Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.

This little switch is loaded with features, it was very easy to setup and integrate into my network. It's fast, as to be expected from a gigabit switch. It's a very cost effective managed switch for smaller networks. It appears to be built well, the steel case is a plus. The management interface is laid out decently and has a lot of options for such a little switch, including VLAN options, bandwidth limiting / QOS, Port Mirroring, and more. The POE ports are a nice addition as well, as you could use this switch to have a few POE devices like security cameras, a wifi AP, etc on a small network. Nice little rubber feet are included if you place to set it on a shelf or desk.

Easy setup - no issues

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

Great, fast, reliable

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.

It works exactly as advertised. I got it for $18 on sale which is a great deal for a 8-port Gigabit switch. It has a very solid build quality.

* Solid construction. * Mounting brackets. * Easy-to-read lights display connection and speed.
