No, there is no reported issue with Intel 2.5Gbit Ethernet NIC on Asus motherboards.
On the Microcenter store page for the Asus X670E-E AM5 motherboard, many users report network problems with Intel I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet cards. The recurring problem appears to be a frequent disconnection that forces a full computer restart to restore functionality. The site promises a fix, but most recent reports from a few years ago suggest the issue persists. Some forum discussions note that the problem often occurs with slower switches or routers, raising doubts about whether the Intel NIC is the root cause. One reviewer mentioned trying various fixes but found none effective. Another user on Hardforum suggests the issue mainly arises when using 2.5Gb or faster connections and questions if the Intel chip is responsible. I’m seeking advice from others who have experienced similar challenges with future high-speed internet at home.
This article discusses the I225-V model experiencing numerous network-related connection issues, resulting in loss of connectivity and reduced performance. The problems were resolved only by addressing hardware components, prompting Intel to introduce the I225-V2 controller.
