I purchased two of these to use between my pc and NAS and I've played around with different drivers and settings to get the desired 10gbps speeds. At time I do get this speed but I had to fiddle around in the network adapter options to get it performing well. Also I found the driver from Marvell, who makes the chipset, to be better than the TP link one. (at the time of writing). So wasn't really plug and play for me because I wanted the full speed. Be prepared to do some googling if you are in a similar situation.

so after getting this installed in my PC and connecting it to the 10Gbps port on my Zyxel AX7501-B0 router I am struggling to get it to perform as it should the drivers from TP-Link performed miserably allowing only 0.04Mbps upload speed on an 2Gbps symmetrical fiber connection and huge amounts of retries from dropped packets. I did grab the drivers from Marvel's website but even they struggle with only a ~95 - 115 Mbps upload speed still better than what TP-Link managed but still a far cry from ~2000Mbps. Download speeds are perfect though reaching 2118Mbps from the Chorus Fiber Lab test server. I'm still at a loss as to why it's performing so badly I have contacted PB Tech and TP-Link to try finding out why it's performing the way it is nothing heard back as of ...

Tp-Link drivers are not great. The Adapter falls over and breaks if the LAN IPv4 address changes on it. Requiring a restart. The TP-Link drivers are from 2019.The latest Marvell drivers appears to better? (and can update the card firmware). But for some reason, the Marvell Drivers fail to start on Windows Server 2019. So stuck with the latest Windows Update drivers available.Speed, using iperf3 getting around 6gbit. But also had the NIC lock up, again requiring a restart.Linux users may have better luck?

just throw it in a spare pcie slot and your good to go with 10 gigabit goodness
Wondering why I was getting only 400-450MB/sec download speeds on ethernet ultrafast fibre using an Asus RT-AC86U.Bought this, plugged it in, installed the driver, and added the CAT 6a cable included in the box. Presto! I'm now getting980+ MB.sec. So I'm obliged to say, at least in my case, "..an excellent adapter."
Great Nic for 10GB network. Replaces Asus version with this one and it worked no issues.
This is not a server grade hardware. Don't expect QoS like you would on Intel NIC or something similar. But for home use it's good enough to download a Steam game at higher speeds.
