Dual PCIe 3.1 2.5GBase-T Network Adapter with Intel I225-V / I226-V 2500/1000/100Mbps PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet NIC Card RJ45 LAN Controller for Windows 10/11 with Low Profile Bracket

Has been running rock solid in a PCIe 3 slot in an old Lenovo box and has been solid and reliable for OPNsense to use without fail. The NIC worked great with the FreeBSD based router OS, so drivers were already good to go. It is very nice to have 2 NICs only taking up one slot and this leaves my x16 slot open for other uses. I was able to test a full 2.5gbe connection/link and had no trouble at all. Great value.

Use it in an old server for OPNSense and haven’t had a problem with it in the year or so that I bought it. No complaints

I installed this in my opnsense v17.1.5 firewall and it saw them right away. No need to install any new drivers, and my FW is now upgraded from 1gb to 2.5gb - used one for the fiber modem -which to be fair is only 1gb and one to my network connected to a 2.5gb switch.

Initially worked, but died a week later. Did all the standard diagnostic steps to no avail. Fortunately, I am within the return window. I won't buy this product again.

Bought to replace a realtec nic in my unraid server. Realtec is tricky with Linux and obtaining correct drivers. This was 100% plug and play. Will only be buying intel from now on.

Fast shipping, this 2.5g card works great with my pfsense running on proxmox.

Only been in use a couple months but so far no issues.Had to follow included instructions to find drivers as it was unable to populate a driver on it's own from Windows 11.

I bought this network card for a custom OPNsense router that I was building. With it installed my router would boot much slower than normal. I also got very poor speeds, around 490mbps instead of 2.5Gb like I should be getting.
