My Network devices loses connection to the network several times a day and then reconnects like 20seconds till 2 minutes later again to the network

 

Windows shows this:

 

The network interface Intel(R) I211 Gigabit Network Connection has begun resetting. There will be a momentary disruption in network connectivity while the hardware resets.

 

Reason: The network driver requested that it be reset.

 

This network interface has reset 1 time(s) since it was last initialized.

Hey,

 

I am using Windows 10 Pro (Version 1909 Build 18363.900)

The driver version is 12.17.10.8

The issue started when I got this new Mainboard X570 AORUS ULTRA with the onboard intel nedtwork card

I tried a Realtek PciE Network card. That worked but now since I think the last Windows update the Realtek card has the same issue.

I tried to disable ipv6, I checked the LAN cable with a Laptop but had no issues on the Laptop. I reinstalled the driver. I just now searched via google "intel network driver" and downloaded from your page a newer driver than the one from my motherboard supplier, version 12.18.9.6 I try this now and will post an update later.

 

Edit: I just made all 3 diagnostic test in the Intel PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility and it found no errors.

 

Edit2: 3 hours so far with no issues.

Finally the forum work again. So it went good for 7 hours and then the issue started again and now none of the netword cards detect anything. They just say that the network cable was removed but the cable works fine.

Hello DDegn,

 

It seems that the issue is intermittent and you may be dealing with a hardware issue. And since you already tried our driver, and the network card is embedded on the board, it is best now to contact Gigabyte to check if you need a BIOS update or other hardware related test.

 

If you have questions, please let us know. Please tell us when can we expect an update on this. If there is no reply, is it okay if make a follow up after 3 business days?

Hello DDegn,

 

Just posting to check if you already tried contacting the manufacturer of the board for assistance.
Since we have not heard back from you, I need to close this inquiry.

If you need further assistance, please post a new question.
