So as i stated above i believe that my lan port is dead. It's word about gigabyte 970a-d3 motherboard who have realtek ethernet controller 8111, as i read on internet before, this is common problem on gigabyte motherboards. I tried bunch of things like resseting cmos, reinstalling driver, trying to enable smartlan and all but i can't even enable smartlan. Flashes on the back aren't on when cable is plugged. My ethernet controller isn't recognized in device manager and i cant install driver again cause it doesnt recognize it. I am like 99% sure that it died, because last night there were lightning strike all over place, i shutted my pc as soon as i could, and everything was working perfectly until last night. Currently using usb tethering via android phone to acces internet through wlan on modem. I also tested cable and modem, everything is working properly, except this. So my question is, is there any way to fix this, or do i just give up and buy pci-e lan controller or whatsoever?

No way to fix it, either have to replace mobo or get new lan adapter.

I woudl research on the board and see if the ethernet controller is the problem it has, or if the ethernet controller is the first of many things that start to go bad on that board. If it is the latter I would just replace the whole board.

Well, thanks for your reply. I think i still have warranty so maybe i will send it for replace/fix. But i don't know if it's worth waiting 1 month, or should i just buy new lan adapter, cause it's not expensive. Recently my psu died, and i had to replace it, and now this. Oh god, i just don't have luck i guess...
