These interface cards work with ipFire

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

Size: 10G NIC(AQC113C)Verified Purchase

If you've got a residential 2.5G, 5G, or 10G fiber connection and you want a decent firewall that can keep up with that throughput, you'll have to build your own. I'm building one based on ipFire and these cards worked right out of the box without any extra configuration or driver steps. Also, I had the same ease-of-install with Ubuntu.

Great price and easy installation

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023

Size: 2.5G NICVerified Purchase

This little PCI card packs a nice punch! I’m in the process of re-wiring and redoing my network setup to prepare for an internet upgrade in the future. I’m currently at a 1GB speed but plan on updating to 2.5GB later.

Easy installation and works with the drivers that Windows 10/11 finds for you. It will boost your current speed as well. I was getting around 700MBPS on average on my 1GB Ethernet port built into my ASUS motherboard. Once I starting using this Ethernet card, my speeds are consistently close to max. I’m getting around 950MBPS consistently now!

I bought two of these so far and highly recommend it if your Internet speeds are more than 1GB and you want to utilize all that extra bandwidth. Or if you have 1GB speeds and your current Ethernet port is not quite getting its max

Great SFP+ Compatibility, Poor Windows Drivers

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024

Size: X520-DA1Verified Purchase

I got the Intel X520-DA1 variant of this card, and I am quite pleased with it so far. Installation on Win10 Pro 22H2 wasn't straightforward, though, so I thought I'd say something about it so people can avoid headaches and mistaken returns.

First of all, Windows does not automatically install drivers for this card, and to address this the QR code and link provided on the label (as pointed to by the card's instructions) lead to Intel's 82599 drivers. However, they have not been updated for current versions of Windows and therefore will not install.

I fixed this by using Snappy Driver Installer, which is a tool I often use for work and has saved my butt many times. It solved the problem in thirty seconds. For anybody with a similar problem, try that before sending your card back!

Aside from the drivers, I've had no compatibility issues with my Ipolex 10GbE SFP+ modules. I haven't tried it with anything else yet, but I'll update this review should I have any problems. So far, so good!

works great - linux server, win10 client

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2022

Size: X540-T2Verified Purchase

i am learning more about networking and finally got space to set up a little network room in my new place, so i decided to go for a 10gbe network. i got a 10gbe switch, cat8 cables, and 2 of these NICs. i put one of them in my linux box - it was ez pz plug and play for me (i'm just using ubuntu 22, nothing special). i put the other one in my windows 10 pc - for windows, you will need to download the drivers from the site that's on the sticker located on the physical card. you can get the complete driver pack, or just the windows 10 driver a couple pages into the download options. after installing the drivers, i was only getting 3gbps on windows. i was bummed. i then put the card i had in my windows pc into another pc which had linux installed - ran iperf3 on the server and linux client, and bam i was seeing 9-9.4gbps! it turned out i'm a noob and i installed the card in my windows pc in a PCIE 3.0 x1 slot - it needed to be in a x4 slot to get the full speed. now everything is super speedy and i'm very happy. originally i messed with the advanced adapter settings on windows because i thought that was the issue (setting speed/duplex to 10gpbs full duplex, enabling jumbo packets, etc.). turns out i didn't need any of that, for me the card works fine on windows 10 with the default settings (auto negotiation, jumbo packets disabled, etc) - which is really nice. i don't know much about networking, and i was able to get this to work, so you can too =]

The install was easy, has a nice black aesthetic and the performance was good.
But after 3 months, it no longer works. Tested it across 3 different machines using two different operating systems. I reached out to NICGIGA and they never got back to me. Would not recommend this card unless you have money to burn.

Careful, this does not do multi-gig at lower speeds, it will only do 10Gbps.

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024

Size: X540-T2Verified Purchase

Buy this if you know what you are doing.

On Win11 you will not have a driver handy, I used the X550 driver, but the X550 also supports 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, the X540 does not.

Other than that gotcha, this thing works well.

Perfect, but not plug and play

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023

Size: 10G NIC(AQC113C)Verified Purchase

I installed it in a Windows computer and used it to connect to my Truenas server over an approximately 100 ft (30 meter) run of Cat 6, including two wall jacks. It connected perfectly at the full 10gbps speed. I also like the fact that its heat sink is small compared to other 10gbe cards, so it probably doesn't consume too much power. In addition, it doesn't put out much heat, which I know because I measured CPU and chipset temps before and after installing the card, and they were barely affected. The Windows computer it's installed in is a fanless build for a low noise environment, so it's important that the card doesn't put out too much heat.

The only minor issue to be aware of is that, at least in Windows, it's not plug and play. You will need to manually install drivers from the device manager in order for the card to be recognized. Fortunately, that's easy to do since both a USB flash drive and CD with drivers are included. I'm not sure why it's not plug and play, as I've installed other network cards on Windows computers that were recognized instantly, with no driver installation required. On a Linux build, the card probably will not require drivers, but I can't confirm that as I've only used it in Windows.

Size: 2.5G NICVerified Purchase

This runs perfect in my pc. My internet connection is stable and runs at full speed. I even get the 2,5gbs intranet connexion from my router. My internet plan is only 100mbs so that doesn't benefit of the full 2.5gbs obviously but maybe in few years I'll get an optic fiber connection that will take advantage of that pciE card. This was easy to install and has no Cons or whatsoever.

Contains Malware in driver zip file

Reviewed in Canada on March 4, 2023

Size: 10G NIC(AQC113C)Verified Purchase

Network card came with a mini-CD containing driver file and a QR code to scan to download the driver software. The QR link is to a google drive. Downloaded the file to my phone. Emailed to gmail account. Gmail flagged the file as containing a virus and would not allow file to be downloaded from Gmail. Considering this is product is from China, seems like a good way to sneek malware onto a system, steel data and attack later. Ended up using the driver from the CD to install. Anti-virus scan indicated clean on that file. Since the NIC has been installed it crashed a few times — for about 20min. Seemed to want to jump between Wi-Fi and wired. Had to turn off the Wi-Fi through windows. Then ended up working after a reboot. Internet download speed exceeding 1900mbps now —- on a rogers 1.5gbps service. I guess it’s worth the upgrade.
