Intel I211 network adapter slow to connect to internet Windows 10

[stanmine]

Hello,

Not sure the exact problem, over the last two years i haven't had this issue.

When i turn my Windows 10 workstation on each day, the computer doesn't connect to the internet right away.  It generally takes ten minutes before it establishes a connection.  I had to purchase a backup wifi adapter in case it need to connect quickly.  When i launch the ProSet configuration utility it says everything is fine, there is a connection, the cable is good, hardware is good.   

Been trying many things including going into the network adapter setting and disabling the computer putting the network adapter to sleep, verifying  the advanced settings, going into my router and checking settings there, reinstalling the drivers, switching the gig switches, trying new ports, switching cables.

If someone could help me fix this, i would consider it a miracle at this point.  Thank-you
