Experiencing a frustrating issue, my NIC is not functioning properly. I can download at near gigabit bandwidth speeds but my uploads never go over 100KBs. Any help or experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

My troubleshooting steps include having uninstalled, rebooting, and then re-installing latest drivers. (multiple times haha)

Updated to the latest BIOS.

I then found a few threads about MSI killer motherboards talking about installing standalone drivers to fix the issue.

I followed the below guide but the problem still persists.

My conclusion is there is a hardware issue, however im not sure if it is worth RMAing the board. Do you guys think any other issues might pop up on the motherboad if i just buy a new NIC? will that fix the issue?
 
hmmm.. now don't know what to say that quailcom lan never cared to have it just looked over the link you gave from powerup and just don't know [but kinda shows why I avoid it ] . you may start fresh and reinstall the latest driver back and see if something changes or recheck the configuration

Thanks for the help Junkey! I had followed the above guide earlier to no avail, i ended up buying a new NIC from NE and installed that instead. Everything is running fine now, i am hoping this does indicate that other pieces of hardware on the MB will fail in the future.
