Windows 10: Need a gigabyte switch

When I bring home my work laptop I have to use wireless because I don't have a spare wired network jack. The only one in the den is in use. The only one in the bedroom is in use.

When I use wireless it works flawlessly ... until I connect to work over a VPN. The VPN drops every minute or two and I have to reconnect it. But the VPN is rock solid when I plug into a wired network jack.

No ... I don't need a wifi extender. I have google services, and every cable box is a wireless access point. There are five of them in the house. I'm never more than six feet from one.

So I want to use wired networking exclusively.

To do that I'd like to "split" one of my wired jacks by using a switch. I have one but it runs at 100 Mbps. I need a 1000 Mbps switch. And I need two ports.

I don't know what to buy. I see units that are real cheap and others much higher.

How do I choose?

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (Realtek) - No bass/sub-woofer

• Speaker Setup plays all speakers fine
• Applications do not play any bass through subwoofer (or really, at all)
• Custom built PC using Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard onboard audio.
• Windows 10 fresh install
• Tried latest driver from Gigabyte, Realtek, and Microsoft
• Windows "default" driver does play bass through sub-woofer, but audio stutters and is quiet.

Not sure what else is relevant to mention; I've tried following various posts with suggestions to fix this, with no success. I've been at this for quite a few hours and am very frustrated.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or suggestions on how to resolve

 

gigabyte Z370 HD3 + Samsung EVO 970 won't install Windows 10

Newly assembled system:

• Gigabyte Z370 HD3 V1.0 motherboard
  
• Intel i7-8700 CPU
  
• 2x DDR4-3200 16GB RAM (F4-3200C16D-32GVK)
  
• Samsung EVO 970 500 GB M.2 SSD (MZ-V6E500)
  
• Thermaltake TR2 S 500 W PSU (TRS-0500P-2)
  
• Deepcool Tesseract case (seems doesn't matter)
  

All components come new, unpacked.

Windows 10 Pro installation failed at the step "Getting files ready for installation." when about 70-80% complete.

I used both the original Windows 10 Pro DVD and a USB stick prepared by a Microsoft tool; the result is the same.

I tried to use the pre-installation SATA driver from the Gigabyte website.
Once I installed this driver at the step "Where do you want to install Windows", my M2 drive had disappeared from the list.

The same situation repeated with another set of components.

By the way, when I try the same set of components but with an ASUS Z370-P motherboard, there is no problem with Windows 10 installation.

I still need to assemble some systems with Gigabyte motherboards.

Update: It was easy to install Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. Same conditions: Gigabyte motherboard, but SATA SSD instead of M2 SSD.

Any suggestion what to do in order to install Window properly?
