TP-Link TX201 2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter

The TP-Link TX201 delivers 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet speeds directly to your desktop PC, reaching data rates up to 2.5 billion bits per second—2.5x faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. This PCIe network adapter handles bandwidth-intensive tasks efficiently, from local data transfers to high-speed internet access.

2.5G Networking Performance

With 2.5 Gbps connectivity, the TX201 creates a high-speed transport channel between your central storage device and other machines in your local network. Local data transmissions become significantly faster, making bandwidth-intensive tasks manageable whether at home or in the office. For gaming, the adapter optimizes speed, latency, and responsiveness—large game downloads, live streaming, and cloud backups run smoothly.

Multi-Speed Compatibility

The TX201 uses 2.5G Base-T technology with backwards compatibility across multiple data rates: 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, and 10 Mbps Base-T connectivity. The 2.5G Ethernet port automatically negotiates between higher and lower speed connections, allowing seamless upgrades to 2.5G networking without replacing existing infrastructure.

Quality of Service and Wake-on-LAN

Built-in QoS (Quality of Service) technology ensures sufficient bandwidth allocation and prevents network congestion. Whether streaming video content or engaging in real-time gaming, the adapter maintains smooth network performance. Wake-on-LAN functionality enables remote power management of your computer, beneficial for centralized system administration.

Installation and Compatibility

The TX201 includes both standard and low-profile brackets, accommodating full-size towers and mini tower computer cases. Software installation is straightforward using the intuitive utility provided on CD. The adapter supports comprehensive operating systems including Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Windows Servers 2022/2019/2016/2012 R2/2012/2008 R2, and Linux distributions.
