BrosTrend 2.5Gb Network Card, PCIe Network Adapter RJ45 NIC with Extra Low-profile Bracket PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card for Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP, Windows Server... Limited Lifetime Protection

I recently upgraded my PC with the BrosTrend 2.5Gb PCIe Network Adapter, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I installed it, the difference in speed and stability was clear. Setup was quick and easy—Windows 10 recognized the card immediately and installed the necessary drivers without any issues.The jump from standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet to 2.5Gbps has been a game-changer for transferring large files across my home NAS and streaming 4K content with zero buffering. The included low-profile bracket was a great bonus for fitting into my compact build, and the build quality of the card itself feels solid and premium.The fact that it comes with limited lifetime protection is just the cherry on top—it’s clear the company stands by their product. If you're looking to future-proof your network setup or simply want faster and more stable wired performance, this card is an outstanding value.Highly recommended!

I recently got a NAS with a 2.5 gbe port and I wanted to utilize it to transfer data back and forth from my Synology DS 1821+. Did a quick search and this was one of the only cards that others were using for their Synology but not specifically for the 1821+. It was cheap so I decided to take a shot. Worked like a charm! Didn't need to set anything up outside of swapping the face plate which too like 2 minutes.I sent over 100 gigs of data and was able to saturate the line. Super glad this worked.

I upgraded my network to 2.5 GB so I needed these cards for my older computers which only supported Gigabit speed.The install was easy and I did not need to install any drivers in Windows nor in Ubuntu. They just worked!The speed tests show they run at full speed and work as advertised. This was a great purchase. And now all my wired devices on my network are connected at 2.5 GB.

Works as described. Full speed test successfully ran. Just hate RealTek hardware bc of driver support.RealTek drivers are the biggest pain. Especially on linux. Windows is a different story. If Realtek got their drivers working properly itd be a 5 star

Perfect, plug and play easy to install. Quality is great. Don't forget you will need a faster ethernet cable more than likely.

This really is an Incredible product at a great price. It took my all of 30 seconds to slide the adapter into the PCIE slot and screw It into the case, and immediately I was getting 2gigs down (what my internet is capped at). Very pleased with this. Now I just hope it lasts!

For the price these appear to be good Realtek chipset base 2.5 gig Network cards. I ordered three of them as we're getting faster Internet at our house and the existing 1 gig Network was too slow. I installed 2 cards in Windows 10 desktops and one in a home lab server. One of the Windows 10 desktops immediately had connection problems. If too much network activity was going on, it'd disconnect then reconnect. This would happen over and over. Gaming with the card was not possible. Switched the Ethernet cable to the built in 1gb port on my motherboard and problem went away. Other 2.5 gb cards on the Network did not experience this problem.I'm returning all three of the cards. If one is already failed I don't have a lot of confidence in the lifespan of the other two.

Excellent network card. Gives absolute performance on downloading and great bandwidth.
