Windows 10: Would changing my Ethernet connector do anything?

Hello so I’ve looked at many Ethernet optimization guides and have copied them before but I got a new motherboard and when I went to configure my Ethernet some options are just not there or just greyed out. I was wondering if replacing my connect with a different one would do anything. As well I have the 1226-V Ethernet controller and have seen many issues about it but I’m not for sure what to replace with and even if replacing it will fix my issue.

Hi,

To better assist you, kindly answer the following:

• Did you try to change the Ethernet and check if the network is connecting?
• Is the Ethernet working in other computers?
• Are there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
• What troubleshooting steps you've done so far?

We'll be waiting for your reply.

 

What is App Connector...?

Right, you might not be a developer but at some point you might use a 3rd party UWP App.

The UWP Skype App needs access to your camera and your microphone ... while not a 3rd party App, Skype might not have access to those without App Connector - not sure, just an example.

The Google App (Ok Google) needs to access your microphone.

Instead of everyone writing their own access, getting permissions, etc, their Apps ask the App Connector to service their requests.

This approach is nothing new to Android users, when an Android App gets installed, it lists the permissions it requires. You either accept them or cancel the install. Most people accept and install the App. MS might be trying to get past that one install step by granting the permissions to the App Connector. The permissions are listed on the App page in the Store - nothing nefarious, just eliminating a step.

Keep in mind - this is all conjecture on my part - no hard evidence did I find *Wink

 

Cannot connect to ethernet no valid ip configuration

We appreciate the information you've provided. We'd like to confirm the results after following the steps on the link provided on our previous post.

Meanwhile, to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check the following:

• 
  If the Ethernet port is clean.
  
• 
  If the end of RJ45 (Ethernet cord) is still intact.
  
• 
  If available, test the RJ45 (Ethernet cord) to your other device and check if issue persists.
  

We look forward to your reply so we can assist you further.
