The Ethernet Controller I225 is designed for use on any mobile,desktop, workstation, value-server, or industrial designs that have critical space constraints. The I225 can also support Intel vPro technology onspecific Intel platforms and chipsets. The Ethernet Controller I225 also supports the latest time sensitive networking (TSN) features, along with best in class power management and Operating System Support Specification Compliant with PCI Express specification Revision 3.1(5GT/s) MDI(Copper) standard IEEE802.3 Ethernet interface up to 2.5Gb/s Complies with single port 1GbE RJ45 port (copper) Complies with the MDI standard IEEE802.3 Ethernet interface for 2500BASE-T,1000BASE-T,100BASE-TX,10BASE-TE application( IEEE802.3bz, IEEE802.3ab ,IEEE802.3u and IEEE802.3 ) IEEE802.3 Auto-negotiator IEEE802.3x and IEEE802.3z compliant flow control support with software-controllable RX thresholds and TX pause frames Automatic cross-over detection function(MDI/MDI-X) IEEE 1588 Protocol and 802.1AS implementation Supporting Time Sensitive Networking(TSN) Capabilities Support IEEE802.3az-Energy Efficient Ethernet(EEE),EEE is supported for 2500BASE-T, 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.

I had to change over from the full height bracket to the low profile bracket (supplied in the box). The 2 screws holding on the bracket are an unusual head and do not fit a Philips or torx, etc. A small “screwdriver” is supplied but it has a very narrow handle and if a screw was stuck/tight, you would have a problem changing the bracket. Review: Nic - Plugged in and worked what more can be said ## Features - PCI Express 3.1 :5GT/s Support for x1 width (Lane).The I225-V has been discontinued, and the I226-V will replace it. The two models have identical functionality. Compared to the I225, the I226 has improved error rates, offering better data packet stability over longer cable lengths and providing a more stable network connection. It also enhances the accuracy and stability of data transmission. Additionally, the I226 reduces active power consumption compared to the I225, making it more energy-efficient - Network Interfaces:Integrated MAC + BASE-T PHY. MDI (Copper) standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 2500BASE-T, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-TE applications (802.3, 802.3u, 802.3bz, and 802.3ab) - Compatible for X1,X2,X4,X8,X16，Comes with low profile bracket - Support ESXI7.0/OPENWRT/UNRAID/PVE/WIN10/11/Linux.Support PXE function , Full Wake on LAN and TSN - 180 day worry-free warranty and friendly customer service.

Linux** A: It should, it works with PFSense and OPNSense. Both of those are very picky when it come to brands. This is a intel nic. **Q: What is the upload speed of this card ?** A: It really depends on what your internet service and router can do. This card is capable of doing 2.5 gig up and downstream if you're other equipment supports it. **Q: does it run on synology** A: yes **Q: Will it be recognized in PFSense?** A: It is an Intel based adapter, so it should work just fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Item works well but changing from full to low profile bracket has odd screw head *by P***D on 13 July 2024* This item works well in the SFF computer it is fitted to. I had to change over from the full height bracket to the low profile bracket (supplied in the box). The 2 screws holding on the bracket are an unusual head and do not fit a Philips or torx, etc. A small “screwdriver” is supplied but it has a very narrow handle and if a screw was stuck/tight, you would have a problem changing the bracket. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nic *by C***S on 27 January 2025* Plugged in and worked what more can be said ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ While it works, it is based on I225 - which is known to have issues *by A***N on 17 October 2023* As mentioned, this is an I225 controller, which are known to have issues. I wanted this item to get the maximum download speeds from my 2gb internet connection, which it delivered. However I would not use this for online gaming as you can get connectivity problems (do a Google search for I225 problems). ## Frequently Bought Together - 2.5GBase-T PCIe 3.1 Network Adapter with Intel I225-V+3ft Cat8 Ethernet Cable 2500/1000/100Mbps PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card RJ45 LAN Controller for Windows 10/11 with Low Profile Bracket - 10Gtek SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable - 10GBASE-CU Passive Direct Attach Copper SFP Cable for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2M, Ubiquiti UniFi UC-DAC-SFP+, Meraki, Fortinet, D-Link, 2-Meter(6.6ft) | 0.25-12m Optional - 10Gtek 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card, Single SFP+ Port, with Intel 82599EN Controller, Ethernet LAN Adapter Support Windows Server/Linux/VMware, Compare to Intel X520-DA1(E10G42BTDA) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/514890928-pcie-3-1-2-5gbase-t-network-adapter-with-intel](https://www.desertcart.in/products/514890928-pcie-3-1-2-5gbase-t-network-adapter-with-intel) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
