    Lost Ethernet Connection with Windows October 2020 Update


    I just installed the October Update and the Ethernet connect is lost. Basically when I go to open the browser, I lose connection, actually the router (Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router) just reboots over and over.

    At the same time, when the browser is open and I get the message "Your connection was interrupted" , I run the Windows Network Diagnostics I get the follow results.

    System Specs
    Alienware Area-51 R5 PC
    Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router
    Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

    Here is what I've done to date:
    1. Went to Dell download latest drivers, no change
    2. Searched the Diagnostics error and tried those fixes
    3. If I pull the Ethernet line and run on WiFi, No Problem.
    4. Uninstalled the update, and the problem went AWAY!

    It seems like a problem with the update, especially when I uninstall the update the problem doesn't exist but who knows.

    Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    Lost Ethernet Connection with Windows October 2020 Update

    Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

    Hello,

    So this issue has been annoying me since i have changed my old i5-4670 with a ryzen.

    Ethernet: Realtek 8111H (MSI X370 Gaming Plus)
    Modem/Router: Airties Air 5760

    What i have tried so far to fix my issue:
    • Re-installing Windows
    • Updating Ryzen chipset drivers
    • Updating Realtek LAN drivers (both from MSI & Realtek)
    • Updating MSI' LAN releated drivers (MSI Gaming Lan Manager)
    • Replacing ethernet cable
    • Restarting router to factory settings
    Still no luck, keeps happening randomly. Sometimes it is stable for days then it is not stable for 20 mins. Happening when gaming or idle, or while streaming via steam link.
    Windows' own issue fixer thingy fix the issue for the moment, re-plugging the cable, disabling & enabling the ethernet adapter also fixes the issue for the moment.
    Also i am the only one having this issue in the network, TV and phones are still connected to wifi.

    It is started to be real annoying, so time to get help to fix the issue from TPU. Thanks in advance! *I Love TPU :lovetpu:
