Device fails to identify any connections, yet Ethernet speed is being recorded accurately.
Device fails to identify any connections, yet Ethernet speed is being recorded accurately.
On the final day my computer failed to recognize any network. I accessed my network and sharing center, verified the Ethernet status, and confirmed it showed proper internet speed. After plugging in the Ethernet cable to my laptop, the connection functioned correctly. I reset the router, updated the network adapter drivers, refreshed the DNS settings, but the issue persisted. I’m seeking advice from others and wondering if this helps. Additionally, I noticed the Ethernet connection has a blinking yellow LED at the top left and a steady amber one in the top right—likely indicating data activity.
built into the motherboard or is it a seperate PCIe card? A list of components (especially which MB and PCIe cards you have installed) would be very helpful for suggesting good ways to proceed or identifying the issue. If it is a pre built machine, the name/model of desktop would be just as helpful.
Integrated on the motherboard. The system includes an MSI 470 gaming plus ATX AM4 CPU, Ryazan 2700x GPU, Nvidia 2600 memory, AEGIS 16GB (8x2) DDR4 RAM, a 2x 500GB Crucial MX500 network card, and a Realtek PCIe gbE family controller built directly into the motherboard.
I don’t have a direct link to the product page, but I can guide you to find it. Try searching “MSI 470 gaming plus ATX AM4” on MSI’s official website or use PCPartPicker to locate compatible models. If you need help identifying the right model, let me know!
Apologise for the confusion, I thought you had a problem with the Wi-Fi connection. Sorry. Now I see what’s going on. Here are two options: 1) If the motherboard or PC is still under warranty (though I’m not sure about that), I recommend sending it back for testing and repair via RMA. 2) If not, you could purchase a budget PCIe gigabyte Ethernet adapter (like these [link](https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-har...work-cards)) to replace the faulty built-in port or adapter. Just make sure your case has enough space and your motherboard has sufficient PCIe slots.
Have you checked the router by pinging it to confirm it receives a reply? Use nslookup to verify DNS responses and identify the target server. Review the router’s client table to ensure no duplicate IP addresses exist on the network. Adjust adapter settings manually, assigning an IP and default gateway (like the router’s LAN IP), then try using third-party DNS providers such as Google or other public servers—typically 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Double-check firewall configurations; temporarily disable it to test connectivity.
