  1. My ethernet connection suddenly stopped working. It was fine until yesterday.


    I have a Windows 10 Home Edition laptop connected to a 2G / 5G router. I've never had a problem with the internet before. My ethernet connection suddenly stopped yesterday, so I checked the settings and found it said "unidentified network, no connection" on the ethernet page, instead of my network name as usual. The strange thing is that I found that Wifi still works, so the router itself is not down for some reason. Tried reconnecting the ethernet cable to the router, then to the computer, even restarting the computer, but nothing worked. It's as if the cable just didn't recognize itself as p

  2. My ethernet connection has suddenly stopped working. It was fine up to yesterday.

    I have a desktop computer with Windows 10, Home Edition, connected to a 2G/5G router. I've never had issues with the internet before. My ethernet connection suddenly stopped yesterday around 4 PM, so I checked the Settings and found that it read "unidentified
    network, no connection" on the ethernet page, instead of my network's name like normal. The odd thing is, I discovered that Wifi still works, even the 5G channel, so the router itself isn't down for some reason (although even 5G is quite slow at the moment,
    as I'd imagine wireless internet is being used a ton right now). I've tried plugging the ethernet cable back into the router, then back into the computer, even restarting the computer itself, but nothing has worked. It's like the cable simply isn't recognized
    as being plugged in, despite it working fine just yesterday morning.

    Not sure what's going on here, as this has never happened before. Assistance would be appreciated.

    Ethernet connection suddenly stopped working

    I'm using windows 10 professional. I have a router given by mu ISP. It has wifi and 4 Ethernet ports. Wifi is working fine (my phone is connected to it), but Ethernet just stopped working, suddenly.
    I tried with a different Ethernet cable no luck. I already had newest drivers installed. I reset the network, and after that did a clean install of windows again, no luck. However, when I go to command prompt, I try to ping google.com and it works.
    I really really have no idea what could be the problem.. everything was working fine (for years) until today..

    LAN Port stopped working suddenly

    Hello everyone,

    I came home yesterday to find that my PC in my specs had no Internet connection. I narrowed it down to be the PC itself and not any cables/modem/router etc. Now I went ahead and tried uninstalling and installing the LAN drivers again but it doesn't detect a LAN port.

    At this point it gives me an error message and states that the Realtek Ethernet Controller could be in "Deep Sleep Mode". To connect the cable to get it going. However cable is connected and verified to work.

    I've googled intensively and have tried many suggestions such as certain command prompts, registry edits, special permissions, and different methods of installing the drivers.

    Is my LAN Port dead, or something else might be the issue? Please note we did have a power outage yesterday as my other PC had also restarted like the one with the problem did. The second PC is perfectly fine though. Any other suggestions and/or advice? Thanks in advance. *Toast :toast:
