## Description

Buy

Review: Bit pricey, but worth it - 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.
Review: Es una buena compra, recién instale el plan totalplay de 5gbps y necesitaba una tarjeta de red de 10gbps para poder recibir toda la potencia, no decepciona sin duda. Funciona de diez. Como siempre tplink dando lo mejor

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***D on 13 March 2023*

18 months UPDATE: Pros: My three TP-Link 10Gb TX401 Ethernet cards are still working great. Two of them are installed on Asus Prime X299-A II motherboards, and the third one is installed on an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard. Now connected with CAT6 cables at full 10Gb stable speed. Two of the cards are installed in Hyte Y60 cases hidden behind the vertical GPU with their included 8 cm low profile brackets. WoL works fine using the free "Wake on LAN (Magic Packet)" app from the Microsoft Store. Cons: Sometimes, randomly, after waking up the computer from sleep, the network card may take more than ten seconds before reconnecting to the network at 10Gb speed. But this happens quite rarely. Original review: Finally, an affordable 10Gb Ethernet network card with Wake-on-LAN (WoL) that works! The TP-Link 10Gb TX401 Ethernet card has a hardware design that supports Wake-on-LAN (WoL). Most other 10Gb Ethernet cards from other brands do not support WoL. When the PC is put to sleep mode, the TP-Link TX401 remains switched on and connected to the network while waiting for a Magic Packet to resume the PC if this option is enabled in Windows. To run properly at full 10Gb speed, the TP-Link TX401 network card must be installed in a PCIe 3.0 x4 expansion slot. It is also compatible with faster PCIe 4.0 x4 to x16 slots. The TP-Link TX401 has a Marvell (formerly Aquantia) AQtion AQC107 chipset. All three cards I bought had firmware version 3.1.100. Instead of using the drivers provided on the CD-ROM, I downloaded the latest official drivers and firmware from Marvell Public Driver Downloads website. In Category, select Marvell Public Drivers and in Part Number, select AQC107 and click Apply to view available downloads. I updated the cards to firmware 3.1.121, and I'm using Marvell Windows drivers version 3.1.7. For my LAN setup, the TP-Link TX401 cards are connected to a TRENDnet TEG-S750 5-Port 10GbE switch. The switch is also connected to the 10G Ethernet port of the Bell Giga Hub. Surprisingly, I get a stable 10 Gbps connection speed over CAT5e cables with a lenght of 40 feet max. Even though the 10G speed is perfectly stable, I will upgrade the cables to CAT6 to meet the minimum requirements for 10G Ethernet speed. Files copy between PCs are at full 1GB/s speed using NVMe drives. Of course, I get slower speed with SATA SSDs or HDD drives. For internet speed, I always get the full speed that the Bell Giga Hub gets because the LAN is not limited to a slower speed. The TP-Link TX401 will auto negociate with slower LAN speeds (100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps). I tested it with an older TRENDnet TEG-S350 2.5GbE switch and it works just fine at 2.5G speed. So far, so good. Very happy with the result.
