    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:

    Ethernet Driver Disappearing

    Hello,

    My ethernet driver keeps deleting itself randomly every evening - and I mean deleting, not just disabling. It does not exist in device manager even when I show hidden options. I have reset network adapters, looked for updates (of which there are none), and tried numerous other fixes suggested online, none of which have helped. The ethernet driver seems to consistently return the next day. This has been an ongoing issue on and off since first getting the PC, but has consistently occurred for a week straight after no issues for many months.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
     
  4. Windows 11 Ethernet Driver Deleting Randomly. How could I fix this?

    Windows 11 ethernet keeps disconnecting.

    My ethernet keeps disconnecting randomly, especially after heavy usage on Windows 11 Pro. It usually stays disconnected until restart.

    My components:

    • MSI B550 Tomahawk
    • Ryzen 7 3700x
    • GTX 1080 TI
    • DA850 Gold Silverstone – power supply
    • Patriot Viper 4 Series DDR4 32GB (2x 16GB) 3200MT (PV432G320C6K)
    • P5 M.2 SSD
    What have I tried:

    • Changed ethernet cable to new one. – I have tried both ethernet ports on MOBO
    • Reset modem settings and restart modem.
    • Almost all software tweaks that I have found online – multiple settings (reset network….etc.).
    • Upgrade network drivers
    • Completely fresh reinstall Windows 11
    • Change power supply and SSD drive.
    • Update BIOS to the latest version.
    I'm currently considering that the problem might be related to Windows 11 itself, given that my other computer that runs on Windows 10 doesn't encounter the same issues. It could also be an issue with the modem itself or a possible hardware malfunction. Interestingly, when I utilize an external WiFi dongle, the WiFi connection seems to work flawlessly. I'm open to suggestions for potential solutions or fixes.
