Hi there,

Few days ago I started experiencing issue with my ethernet network. I'm using Windows 10, with clean install (not upgrade from Win 7).
So until few days ago, everything worked very fine.

Now, I keep getting Network cable unplugged randomly and then it is reconnected after few seconds and internet works fine. So just some random interrupt and reconnect after that.

I suspect on some bad driver update, but also tried to uninstalling driver and removing from DriversStore as well. I downloaded official driver from my motherboards download drivers page.

Also, I tried Speed & Duplex settings, but that didn't helped.

I'm bit lazy to reinstall Windows only becouse of this.

Any help?

You have pretty much eliminated everything except the port in the pc. You can very carefully check you have the proper drivers loaded...window 10 loves to install generic microsoft ones on patches. After that you start thinking about buying a addin or USB ethernet card. To use USB at gigabit speeds you need USB3 ports and devices.

Hey, thanks for answer.

1) reboot router - Tried

2) try a different cable (lil bit hard in my case, but if it is cable I guess it will not work in anycase - how cable can lil bit work and interrupt)

3) different port in the router - Tried

Cables go bad all the time. Can be as simple as the wires do not make good contact with the ends and as they warm up and cool the connections become bad. Even worse is some cable can work on some machine and not others. Since the equipment to fully test cables is extremely expensive only very large companies have these devices.

A cable is pretty cheap thing to try. Pretty much if you get a "unplugged" type of error it means the failure is at a hardware level. If it is not the cable you start to suspect a bad port which is not something you really want to hear since it is part of the motherboard.

Be very sure to buy pure copper cables...no CCA..and do not buy that thin or flat cable. None of that is certified cable and it has many strange issues.
