A: No. This is a wired Ethernet NIC with 4 RJ45 ports. It is not a Wi-Fi or wireless adapter. Q: What Ethernet cable do I need for 2.5 Gbps? A: Cat5e cables work perfectly for 2.5Gbps speed up to 100 meters (328 ft). Cat6/Cat6a cables are also compatible and offer better future-proof performance. Flat or low-quality cables are not recommended for stable transmission. Q: What to do if my motherboard does not recognize the card? A: Solve most recognition issues with these fixes: Update motherboard BIOS (critical for Z690/B660/Z790/X670 series), enable PCIe/LAN interface in BIOS, reinstall the card fully, or switch to another PCIe x4/x8/x16 slot. Some motherboards require a BIOS update for Intel I226-V chip support. Q: Does this 2.5G NIC work with PCIe x1 slots? A: No. This 4-port network card only supports PCIe x4, x8 and x16 slots. It cannot fit or work on PCIe x1 slots. Please confirm your motherboard slot specification before purchase to avoid incompatibility issues. 2.5Gbps PCIe Network Card 5Gbps PCIe Network Card 2.5Gbps PCIe Network Card 10Gbps PCIe Network Card Add to Cart Add to Cart Add to Cart Add to Cart Customer Reviews 4.0 out of 5 stars 41 4.3 out of 5 stars 5 5.0 out of 5 stars 8 5.0 out of 5 stars 2 Price $74.99$74.99 $20.89$20.89 $15.33$15.33 $53.19$53.19 Chipset Intel I226 Realtek RTL8125 Realtek RTL8126 Marvell AQC113 Port 4 x RJ45 1 x RJ45 1 x RJ45 1 x RJ45 Interface PCI Express x4 (Compatible with x4, x8, x16 slots) PCI Express x1 (Compatible with x1 x4, x8, x16 slots) PCI Express x1 (Compatible with x1 x4, x8, x16 slots) PCI Express x4 (Compatible with x4, x8, x16 slots) Supported Speeds 100Mbps / 1Gbps / 2.5Gbps 100Mbps / 1Gbps / 2.5Gbps / 5Gbps 100Mbps / 1Gbps / 2.5Gbps 100Mbps / 1Gbps / 2.5Gbps / 5Gbps / 10Gbps Operating Systems Windows 10/11; Windows Server 2022; Ubuntu 22.04+; Debian 12+; RHEL 8.6+; FreeBSD 14+ Windows 10/11; Windows Server 2019/2022 Windows 7/8/10/11; Windows Server 2008 R2/2012/2016/2019/2022; Linux kernel 2.6.32/5.9+; OpenBSD 6.7+; NetBSD 10-CURRENT+ Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / Server; Linux; VMware ESX/ESXi; Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL; FreeBSD Bracket Options Includes Full-Height and Low-Profile Brackets Includes Full-Height and Low-Profile Brackets Includes Full-Height and Low-Profile Brackets Includes Full-Height and Low-Profile Brackets
