@J. C. There is a known bug with certain intel 2.5g ethernet controllers where attempting to link at 2.5 Gbps drops your link speed to *very* low levels. This will get you started: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/support-hardware/Intel-i225-V-and-Z490-Chipset---Network-Connection-Issues-1981/ Someone on reddit had issues with their Actiontec 7250 and Aquantia, so they took apart the Actiontec and reported that they found one of the affected chips on the board. For more info and the pics, see https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/ity6cl/is_there_any_moca_25_adapter_with_a_25_gb/ghrahyd/ I have been wondering if part of the delay in shipping the 2.5g gocoax adapters is that there is a limited supply of intel's fixed version of the chips.

I am looking to use it to connect a distant room to a NAS server. The connection to the NAS will be used for general network file storage, backup and holding files used for video editing -- some of these being simultaneous with video conferencing.
