Windows 10 Ethernet connection is shutting down.
Windows 10 Ethernet connection is shutting down.
I've been experiencing an issue lately, though it hasn't started recently. I usually attributed it to my ISP. Hardware: CPU 6700k, GPU 1070 Mobo, Z270 Maximus 9 Apex. My Ethernet connection sometimes drops unexpectedly, and I'm not sure why. It seems to happen when playing League or Apex Legends, but not during regular browsing. I've tried reinstalling the LAN drivers from ASUS' site—once that worked, and after a while I stopped using them, but now I keep reinstalling even though the drivers are fresh. This is the icon I see whenever I restart.
No, I haven't tried any cables yet. Would you like me to suggest some options?
Have you attempted to reset the modem or router manually? Review your firewall settings too. I encounter similar issues with six different firewalls (including the built-in Windows firewall). Also, switch your DNS servers—currently using Comodo DNS 8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20.
I haven’t switched cables, but I’m not sure it’s the issue—my drivers stopped working for weeks after reinstalling once, and it seems to happen only on my machine. I’ve reset it before, but no one else on other computers has experienced it. What should you check in your firewall? You haven’t updated DNS servers, but you used CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 and Google DNS previously; I’ll try Comodo instead.
I’m going to follow what I told someone else to try. One thing that’s worked before is adjusting my LAN device settings in Device Manager. Based on your driver, there may be extra options in the properties window for your NIC that let you tweak things like Large Send Offload and Buffer Sizes. It seemed unusual at first, but sometimes it does help.
You're at the beginning of your networking journey. To ensure everything runs smoothly, set each parameter to its optimal level. This should help secure a more stable connection and boost your performance.
The settings have two options, one of which is turned off. From a brief glance, data larger than 1500 bytes is treated as a Jumbo Packet. Usually these are split into smaller parts, but it’s possible they get lost. That might be contributing to the issue you’re experiencing.
Have you verified the newest Windows updates? (Sorry, I had to inquire amidst the chaos of M$’s releases)
It seems you're referencing a specific version of the software. The details provided indicate it's using version 10.0.17763 with build 17763. This suggests the update process occurred prior to the latest release.
