Excellent product, works over good quality CAT5 / CAT6 cables, (suggest solid copper core cables, not any cheap Copper Coated Aluminium / CCA cables) and really speeds up the LAN network connections provided you have a good router obviously.
Even when connecting to a NAS there is a small speed bonus, not sure why or how but I will take whatever bonus I can get.
I would 100% recommend this ethernet adaptor, (TX2012.5) as it didn't even need a driver install, auto added from Windows automatically.
I purchased this to dual LAN my PC, (I have a work network for business stuff and 3 NAS drives and a home network for everything else) and the issue I had was Windows 11 wouldn't remember my NAS drives for file access over Wi-Fi for some reason. This solved it straight off the bat, no issues with NAS drives being remembered when mapping the drives on This PC.
Microsoft needs to fix this really, not everyone can whack another PCI card in.
