  1. Problems with ethernet and wifi after motherboard and cpu change


    Hi, i recently changed my motherboard to a msi z590 and when i try to open windows it gets to the login screen and says pin not available. My ethernet is plugged in and the lights on the motherboard indicate its working fine. I tried typing in my password which i know for a fact is right along the with many other possible ones and it never works. I cant reset the password because the computer doesnt have a connection. Everything in the bios is right. I tried going through safe mode with networking and got the same result. I feel like i have tried everything and cant get passed the login screen

    :)

  2. Network problems Ethernet + Wifi after clean install Windows 10

    I don't think that there is a problem with the wipe and reinstall of Windows.

    Make sure that:

    1) your PCi works correctly. There isn't generally a way to find out whether it works correctly or not... Just by plugging another device that works thru PCi.

    If there is a problem with the port, the only way to fix it, is by changing your motherboard. And that's not an easy step if you are not familiar with PC hardware.. (If you want to change Motherboard, just reply to me and I'll find the best for you by your specs and budget...)

    2) your Ethernet Card works correctly. The only way to prove it, is to change it. As you also mention, no other device works as slow as your PC. (And because of the slow Wi-Fi, the websites give you an error.)

    If wifi card is the point, you have a lot of solutions. a) Change the connection of the wifi card. So, if now it's PCi, and say that that PCi is broken, you can buy another wifi card for USB. Or PCi-E. That would not cost so much. b) Buy a new motherboard, so that don't have to change your wifi card. c) Connect the Ethernet cable directly to your motherboard. There is no way that your motherboard will not have internet port..

    Hope I helped you! If you need anything, feel free to contact me!

    WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

    OK but why?

    NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

    Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

    Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

    Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

    To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.

    WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

    Fart

    Brandon,

    I don't know what I mean. YES ON WIF i can connect to the internet, but you cannot connect to anthing plugged into the same WIFI ROUTER with CAT5 Cable ethernet. My MacBook Pro has WIFI and ehternet, ethernet wont work, but wifi will. My Dell does not have wifi, and I cannot connect to the network or internet at all. As I mentioned, I changed the WIFI Router about a week ago, problem solved, for 3-4 days, now ethernet to the new router does not work again.
