Hi,
I've tried for the better part of the previous week carrying over into this week to fix my ethernet port issues.
My ethernet port on my mobo works occasionally, it used to be for a good 2 years that I had to restart my pc when I didn't get a internet connection to fix this problem.
For example: No internet? , restart pc = internet.
This week the occasional working ethernet port problem has started occuring. Most of the time it just doesn't work, so Im using ethernet usb tethering with my android phone to get a wifi connection.
I've tried all the steps given online that I could find but nothing fixed it. When I thought that I fixed Im thinking that my ethernet port just felt like working, this was when I disabled power saving in device manager (which was somehow on in my desktop).
I've now purchased a new pcie network card which does light up orange when starting my pc, shortly after switching to a steady green which stays that way. Giving the following notification when a cable is plugged in:
I've tried using a bootable kali linux usb stick to see if this was windows related but no luck in there either. D;
