Resolve Ethernet problems on Windows 11
Resolve Ethernet problems on Windows 11
Hey, a week ago you installed your old 15-meter flat cable after moving it slightly inside your PC, but it stopped working. You ordered a new Ethernet cable and it’s still not connecting properly. When you plug the new Ethernet cable into your LG TV, everything works fine. The motherboard is flashing an orange light about five times every minute. What should you do?
You should investigate the system details, especially the motherboard. Typically, a recurring amber flashing light signals a connection issue. Windows will display specific messages about the problem. Remember, using straight cables increases the risk of damaged wires.

Storage: 1x g-skill 16GB DDR4, 2x Hyper Fury 8GB DDR4 at 3200MHz. Display: Asus Prime B450M-A II 550W MSI MAG A550BN Bronze. Windows reports refer to system performance and status updates from the operating system. Plugging it into a Linux TV receiver worked perfectly, so you might want to try a live boot USB on your PC using Fedora or another Linux distro.
Is there a reason your system feels sluggish? Matching pairs are necessary for dual lane memory speeds. Are you certain it’s running at 3200MHz? Check for the latest drivers for your NIC—your board gets updated regularly. And don’t forget, it’s a 7-year-old motherboard.

The Task Manager displays networking information, while Device Manager shows the Ethernet adapter and checks its status. Did you connect the PC to the Linux receiver or are you referring to the cable? It might be a driver problem. Review Device Manager for any issues. Also, check if there is tension on the Ethernet port from the cable.
You also have the newest drivers installed, no need to worry about those.
