TP-Link TX401 Reviews

Good 10G Ethernet Card

By Bruce
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-18

So far I am completely happy with this 10G Ethernet interface card. I have it connected to an Asus GT-BE98 Pro router that has a 10G output. I have encountered no issues with the board but I have no way to test the speed all the way up to 10G. I will say that it is very fast. Be aware that there are power-saving options in the driver and I turned those off. That was probably not necessary but since I wanted my computer online at all times I wanted to make sure nothing was sleeping, including this card.
