Issues with TP-LINK USB-C to Gigabit adapters
You're facing an unusual issue with your TP-LINK USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter. It seems the connection is sensitive and only works reliably when the laptop is already powered on. The old USB-C adapter worked fine, but now even a plugged-in adapter prevents startup or booting. This could be due to compatibility issues, incorrect power settings, or driver conflicts. Try checking the adapter's power mode, ensuring it's properly seated, and verifying that your laptop's BIOS/UEFI supports the correct USB configuration. If the problem persists, consider testing with a different USB port or consulting TP-LINK support for deeper diagnostics.
