Author: crusSubject: Realtek 2.5Gbe RTL8125 NDIS Reset Problem
Posted: 08 Sep 2020 at 8:43am
I'm having the same problem with the ASUS x570-E Gaming motherboard which also uses the RTL8125 NIC.
Have tried various driver versions, Currently using: 10.43.723.2020 - problem persists
Have also tried
- Disabling "Energy-Efficient Ethernet"
- Disabling "Gigabit Lite"
- Disabling "Green Ethernet"
- Disabling "Power Saving Mode"
- Disabling "Wake on Magic Packet"
- Disabling "Wake on pattern match"
- Disabling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
- Update to latest mainboard BIOS
- Update to latest chipset drivers from AMD
I also emailed nicfae@realtek.com and received the same response as bbandor above.
On this motherboard, I have the Realtek 8125 and an Intel i211. I was going to use the i211 but its also buggy, IPv6 intermittently fails PMTUD tests (which causes weird problems) - The Realtek doesn't have the IPv6 issue.
The Intel NIC utility allows me to test the LAN cable and it verified the cable as working properly. I've also used this cable on another machine just to double check and its working as expected.
Have also tried a different port on the switch that the machine is plugged into.
Is everyone here running Windows 10 version 2004? I'm wondering if the problem happens with version 1909?
Has anyone figured out what triggers the issue? Sometimes i can go a day or 2 without it happening and then some days i'll get the problem a few times within minutes.
