Mario, Thanks for the recommendation. I am leaning towards the devices with a Realtek RTL8153 chipset over the devices with the Axis AX88179. I have more faith in Realtek than AXIS as I have had serveral laptops in the past with Realtek NIC's, but never a single device with AXIS. Plus Realtek seems to be more standards based whereas AXIS only supports 4k Jumbo frames?
