One surprise I had was the fact Bluetooth connectivity is accomplished via a cable between the TX50E PCI card and a spare USB header on the motherboard! I had assumed all communication would take place directly via the PCI slot. Make sure you have a spare header if Bluetooth connectivity is important to you - I only had one spare. (Do not confuse an internal USB header with an external USB socket either - they're not the same!). So I installed it, powered on, and it wasn't recognised automatically by Windows. I installed the WiFi drivers first (directly from the website mentioned in the small print of the instructions) because I don't have a CD-ROM drive, so couldn't use their included CD. As soon as the WiFi driver was installed I was able to easily connect to my home WiFi. I then repeated the same process for the Bluetooth drivers and then Windows recognised it had Bluetooth capability - so far, so good. So everything was working perfectly and I was very happy. I had a nosy around in the settings. Then a few hours later, I couldn't get WiFi to connect. It would just timeout when verifying the connection, every time. I scratched my head for around half hour. I had another nosy in the settings and saw that I had checked "Use random hardware addresses" when logging on to WiFi networks. This is an option in the Windows WiFi settings, and I thought it sounded like a good idea. Turns out that, for some unknown reason, this isn't compatible with my system or the TalkTalk router we have here. The moment I switched that setting off, my connection issue resolved. The router isn't configured to limit connections to certain MAC addresses, so a connection from a randomised address *should* work. It's weird that it doesn't. So take that as a heads up: if you turn that feature on, and experience connection issues on new connections, turn it back off again! :) Overall I'm really happy with the purchase in terms of reliability (no connection dropouts), ping time, download speeds etc. ## Features - 2.5 Gbps PCIe Network Card: With the 2.5G Base-T Technology, TX201 delivers high-speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps, which is 2.5x faster than typical Gigabit adapters, guaranteeing smooth data transmissions for both internet access and local data transmissions - Versatile Compatibility – The Ethernet Network Adapter is backwards compatible with multiple data rates(2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps Base-T connectivity).

Close it all up and screw on the antenna. It was super easy and so far has worked great for both WiFi and Bluetooth. I play lots of online games and also like to connect my AirPods at times, and both have worked really well. I had to get this as my pc didn’t have native Bluetooth or WiFi and after moving my desk I was nowhere near my router, and this was a perfect solution. My only struggle was around not having the drivers ready as I don’t have a cd drive so couldn’t use the provided mini cd to install it so I did have to download it on my phone, move it to a removable drive, then to the pc, but could have been avoided if I realised that it requires drivers to use. A minor negative, which feels more cosmetic is it can be harder to plug in cables now due to the size and position of the antenna, but they are adjustable so they can be moved out of the way. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link 2.5GB PCIe Network Card (TX201) – PCIe to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Win Server 2022/2019/2016, Linux - Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 1.5Ft 3Ft 6Ft 10Ft 15Ft 20Ft 30Ft 40Ft 50Ft 60Ft 100Ft Heavy Duty High Speed Internet Network Cable, Professional LAN Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor - TP-Link TL-SG108-M2 - 8 Port Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter, 𝟮.𝟱𝗚𝗯 Bandwidth, Plug & Play Desktop/Wall-Mount Fanless Metal Design --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/659631651-tp-link-2-5gb-pcie-network-card-tx201-pcie-to](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/659631651-tp-link-2-5gb-pcie-network-card-tx201-pcie-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
