Windows 10: Wired internet connection to Desktop stopped working

Hi,Around mid-January my desktop running windows 10 stopped connecting to the internet. I have a Sky Q router and connect via a TP Link solution. My wi-fi works fine although my desktop is not wi-fi enabled. I have tried swapping out the TP link components and used different network cables so believe the issue is with my desktop. A laptop works fine connecting to the internet using all the same components. I have tried a number of steps such as running the ipconfig reset / renew / flush commands etc as well as unplugging everything. My network adaptor is NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller w

Win 11 22H2 Hard wired Internet Doesn't Work. Only WiFi Does?

Hello,

After upgrading my Windows 11 Pro to Win 11 22H2 (all updates applied), my hard wired internet connection works for 2 minutes, then stops working. If I disconnect it from my computer and switch to Wifi, Wifi works without any issues and says connected. What is causing my hard wired connection to stop working? Didn't have this problem on previous Windows 11 version and no additional software was added after upgrading to 22H2.

When I restart, works for 2 minutes, then stops. Every time. Things I have tired:

• Network & Internet > Advanced Network Settings > "Network Reset".
  
• Removing and reinstalling Ethernet Adapter drivers.
  
• Suspend anti-virus (Avast).
  
• Restarted Modem and Router. (Other computer devices connected to the network works fine)
  
• Troubleshooting Automatic Fix internet issues (This fixes it for 2 minutes, then it stops again)
  
• Uninstalled unused software that often tries to access the internet (Removed Adobe Cloud and other software)
  
• Confirmed "Ethernet" is enabled. (Uses Realtek PCI 2.5GbE Family Controller)
  

I have also rolled back to pre 22H2, and my wired connection started working fully again. Upgraded back to 22H2, and my wired connection only works for 2 minutes then stops again. All repeated steps above doesn't solve it.

What is causing my wired connection to stop working?

Thanks!

 

Windows 10 and internet connection

Hi,



Apologies for the late reply.



Since you are able to connect to the internet wirelessly it is just the wires connection which has issues.

It could be either wire which has problems or Ethernet port.

Before you change either of these I suggest you to try the following steps:

Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter.

a. In search Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the search box and hit Enter.

c. Select “View all” option from the left panel.

d. Select “Internet Connections” from the list and follow On-screen instructions.
