Hello, I see you've been searching for answers for a while. It sounds like your Ethernet connection isn't showing up in settings despite working on another device. Have you tried checking the physical cable connections or testing with a different port? Also, make sure the router is powered on and broadcasting properly. Let me know what you find next!
Use the command prompt to release and renew your IP address. This may resolve DHCP issues affecting your IP assignment. If not, check for hardware problems. Run the Windows network troubleshooter; it will suggest steps. If the router provides dynamic IPs, the default setup should function.
I tried this without any luck. I'm trying to change the format of my computer and disconnect the Wi-Fi card. Maybe the connection port is faulty.
RJ-45 connections are fairly flexible, meaning problems with a group of contacts will often be obvious. It could also point to a hardware issue rather than a port problem. Sometimes the driver becomes corrupted; removing it via Device Manager and reinstalling through Windows Update resolves the issue. Occasionally, an outdated manufacturer driver needs to be downloaded from their site if Windows attempts an incompatible update, which can happen again when the process runs automatically.
When you have an available slot, it should work without issues. Typically, the last PCIe port is the safest choice to place your GPU away from. Amazon offers a TP-Link 2.5GB PCIe Network Card that connects via 2.5GbE Ethernet and works with Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Win Server 2022/2019/2016, and Linux.
