A Solid Upgrade with Minor Tweaks
I ordered the BrosTrend 5 Gigabit PCIe Network Card for my Windows 11 gaming PC, and overall, it has been performing well. The card came neatly packaged, well protected, and included both a standard and low-profile backplate for different setups. Fitting it into the PCI Express slot was straightforward, and when I started Windows, the drivers were automatically installed without any issues. However, during my initial speed test, I was surprised to find that it wasn't achieving the advertised 5Gbps speed. I was only getting around 2Gbps on my 3Gbps Community Fibre broadband. Suspecting it might be a driver issue, I went ahead and downloaded the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website (since I don’t have a CD drive for the included driver CD). After installing the updated drivers, the card worked perfectly, and I started getting speeds close to 3Gbps. Overall, I believe this network card offers great value for money, especially once the correct drivers are installed. So far, it’s working well, and I’m happy with the purchase.

It matches the advertised speed, and so far has proved to be reliable. I plugged it in and it worked straight away on Windows and Linux.

Works well. No issues. Remember to update it prior to speed testing.

Eventually, it works
Although the packaging and BrosTrend website says it supported by Linux it does not work right away. I had to install the RTL8126 drivers manually and had to get them from github because not even BrosTrend has Linux drivers listed on their website. So it works with Proxmox kernel 6.8.12 I couldn't test the 5gbe connection because my switch only has 2.5gbe ports. With iperf3 it maxed out at 283 MBytes which is what you would expect. For the price this is a great NIC.

Simple set up
Requested this to provide a 2.5 link from a pc to a nas. It adopted within seconds to the network. Just 2 patch moves and it was up and running. Just use the switch POR to power it avoiding the usbc plug and euro plug converter.

Decent card for the money
A decent alternative to get around the 1gb transfer limit on some onboard network controllers. Well built decent price.

Unfortunately my unit doesnt seem to want to work.
When plugged into either PCIE slot of my PC, booting up the system none of the lights on teh back light up and when a cable is plugged in nothign is detected.

Easy install and blazing fast
I upgraded home internet plan to 2GB. I was going to get a 2.5gb card but went for the 5gb just in case. Just popped in card, windows did the rest. Low latency and blazing fast now!

Solid 2.5G with a Pathway to 5G
Download drivers from the website before installation! -- 5 minutes or less on a Windows 11 PC. Other than drivers (ahead of time), solid as a rock NIC operating at 2.5G where a TPLink TX401 continually gave problems at 2.5G crashing multiple times a day. This NIC is Realtek RTL8126 based. Don't overthink it, just buy it. It works.

Excelente tarjeta de RED Pcle 5 Gb
Super recomendado cambio completamente la velocidad del internet, hay que comprar cable de ethernet cat 6 o superior ver como ajustarla en youtube: "como subir la velocidad de mi internet en mi pc con cable ethernet" y listo esto vuela, asi que este producto esta INCREIBLE. Te recomiendo ver el video del producto aqui cuando lo compras y paso a paso lograras colocarla tu mismo sin necesidad de ningun tecnico. Quede sorprendido con los cambios de velocidad que ahora maneja. Checa que tengas WINDOWS 10 es muy importante por que hay otras que manejan WINDOWS 11
