Unusual Ethernet actions (network works fine then suddenly)
Unusual Ethernet actions (network works fine then suddenly)
I recently got a new laptop, but its network has been behaving oddly. Streaming and gaming work fine, but switching to games like Halo Infinite causes the connection to drop to just 10 Mbps. This doesn’t always happen during gameplay. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the LAN driver, tried the network settings, and even used Lenovo’s built-in tools. The issue seems linked to IP duplication on an open network owned by my landlord. I’m not sure what’s really causing the instability. This problem only affects my laptop, not other devices.
On Windows 11, launch Settings, then Network & Internet, select Wifi, and adjust the properties. Check the "Network Band" section to identify any changes. Repeat the process during slower internet performance.
I've seen this as well—I don't know why it's appearing, and I don't have any organization linked to this laptop.
Once you reinstalled, it's important to confirm whether all the manufacturer-provided applications were restored to your PC.
I didn't notice it did. I used the ISO from Microsoft's site. The issue I was facing has disappeared as well, so I'm uncertain if it was a glitch. I'll observe how the system performs over the next few days. I reinstalled Lenovo Vantage because it seems to be the best for optimization and offers additional features.
