|
 |
After recently changing my motherboard to the new ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming , my PCI Ethernet card (from Carrier) won't fit into any of the PCI slots.. there's only PCI-E x3.0 (GPUs) and...this tiny..tiny... 2 slots for.. "2 group pin PCI"s... Something like this card http://www.pccomponentes.com/tp_link_dge_tarjeta_de_red_gigabit_10_100_1000.html
Sure, after installing the Ethernet drivers from the MB's DVD i can put my Ethernet cable to the MB's Ethernet port, but here's the problem...Since the change, everytime i start up my PC and reach Windows 7's Desktop, it seems like the PC's searching for the WiFi Router, causing every PC/Device connected to the network to reboot their internet connection for a few secs, instead of using the MB's Ethernet port (Trust me, i've went to control panel and i have this "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V" and configured the IPv4 IP stuff with the same IPs from the Carrier's IP, but after a reboot, instead of a direct connection, it does the reboot STILL)
I wanted to ask if there's an alternative to use the Ethernet cable i have and perhaps try to prevent this WiFi restart thing by forcing MY PC to use the Ethernet cable instead of WiFi (on the previous motherboard, an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO GEN 3, after installing W7 , it detected my PCI card instantly after configuring the IPv4 on it, though i never installed the Intel drivers on the PC coz well, wanted to use my PCI Carrier Card?)
Would the PCI Card at the beginning's link be a replacement and the solution to bring back the use of Ethernet and prevent this WiFi shit to happen?. My connection is Optic Fiber 100Mbps (aka 10-13mb/s when downloading stuff)
Thanks in advance

delete the connection information for the wifi network. if u ever used a wifi connection on windows 7 and after that again normal ethernet cable the connection will have the name of the wifi network too. but i dont know how that could interfere with the wifi itself.
and get newer drivers from the asus page. on the mainboard disc they are outdated and windows itselfs brings old drivers from microsoft for the chip (atleast for the 217-v i have)

Weird thing is that "Administrate Wireless Networks" from W7 shows no connections, also "It's not enabled"
My "Local Area Network" says it's a " Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V " (With the LAN drivers from ASUS's support site,i take (2) means "second try u did this,you little fuck")
Again, on previous MB's formats, these Intel Drivers were NEVER installed into the PC and it detected the PCI card i had back then instantly...Though it kind of went online without putting any IP..But i, just incase, always putted the IP into the card's IPv4.
Just incase i've preordered the PCI card from the link above to see if it kinds of solve it...My doubt is that the MB is trying to access the WiFi somehow even if the Ethernet cable's there...

the number (2) is only added cause it was installed earlier with a different driver. disable the hide blabla options in device manager and delete the old ones. but that usually doesnt matter
still i have no clue what could cause this, got an empty hard disc left? just unplugg your current discs and install windows clean on that drive and see if it happens too. and before you do this update your chipset drivers and energy management engine stuff, maybe that acts strange

Maybe your manual ipv4 settings are conflicting with your router ones or smth. If you don't have some special setup then you don't need to manually enter anything, it should use dhcp and work just fine.
I don't really understand the windows searching wifi router part, because the motherboard you listed doesn't have onboard wifi or am i mistaken?

However, that'd mean i need that pci card anyways so i can disable the Intel one and make the PCI one to work, probably, and it was cheap (19€)
Trust me,ol' board with the PCI card connected to the net without IP and didn't had this kind of issue (and ol' board didn't had any Intel drivers installed). I suspect it's Intel's drivers to begin with.. But if i uninstall 'em then there's no Internet.

Well, bought the adapter from the 1st post aaaand ofcourse it WON'T install no matter what!.. i've posted at TP-Link's forum but it's gonna take a good time... So i've copied what i've told 'em and posting it here.. Hopefully someone can help me with it:
---
START

Well, i've recently bought this TG-3468 V2 card because my older PCI Ethernet Adapter from Telefonica (Spain) wouldn't fit in my new ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard (Incompatible pins) and now whenever i am using the MB's Intel LAN drivers, everytime i get back into Windows 7 after a Reboot it takes some time to connect to the internet, but worst case is that it makes every device and computer connected to my Optic Fiber Router to restart their internet connections for a few seconds before they work again.. With the old PCI Card and motherboard this never happened.. I don't know however, if it's the Motherboard's fault, though..
Note one thing: AIDA64's latest version (compatible with my Skylake motherboard mentioned above) shows that the TP-Link's Adapter is a "Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" ...
Here's what i have
-Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bits (All Windows Update Updates...)
-ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
-Intel LAN Drivers (The ones i'm actually using to contact you guys..)
-TP-LINK's TG-3468 V2 PCI Card
-An Ethernet RJ-45 cable that always worked with the previous PCI Card and still works on the Intel LAN port
-An Optic Fiber 100Mb/s from Movistar
I'll put here what i've done..
1. Install the PCI card in the motherboard (It fits etc..)
2.Follow the instructions on the PAPER manual and with the Resource CD inserted... Now here comes the weird parts:
-I've done the Step 3's "Troubleshooting T2" part where i have to go to "Other devices" and choose Ethernet Controller and do the Updates option because the "Network Adapters" ONLY has the Intel Drivers one..
-After Step 5 (Pick from list), instead of showing "Have Disk.." from Step 6 it shows me a LIST OF DEVICES...I have to choose the Network Adapter or "all devices"
-Once chosen the Inf file from the Resource CD, it shows that hardware compatible is a "Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter" (Instead of the Realtek mentioned above or the manual's "TP-LINK 10/100mbps PCI Network adapter" or similar) and that the "Controller is not signed digitally" (or "This driver is not digitally signed!" Just like the manual's tiny screenshots). I click Continue , "install anyways" and it says it has been installed correctly.
3. Suddenly i change the Ethernet cable from the Intel port to the TP LINK's port...And for a few moments it's like it's working, without inputting any IP... HOWEVER, if i restart the PC, with the Ethernet cable still in the TPL's port, once i go to the desktop... The internet is NOT working!!
----
Now, i've uninstalled everything from the adapter via the device admin thing from the manual, went to the TP-Link's official site and downloaded the TG-3468_V2_120308 drivers for Windows 7... Did the same "Use disk" process but pointing out the new drivers as the new version or something... Same Result...(Also "Network Not Identified" in the control panel's network stuff, same goes with the previous method)
Even if i put my career's (Movistar's) IP in the IPv4 settings it won't let me go to the internet anywayss, with the same "Network Not Identified" error.
What can i do to fix this huge problem?...Is it because of my Windows?, my motherboard?..I want to use the Ethernet cable to try and prevent this WiFi restart problem to happen everytime i (re/)boot my computer up!
Hope there's some solution to this..
Thanks in advance

Found the solution..My cable was 4 pins ...The newest one i bought is 8 pins + Gigabit + Category 6...
The Intel LAN port with the career's IP works as it should, faster somehow too!, and no more disconnections. Starting the PC and makes Skype n stuff load nearly INSTANTLY
Leave this on for the rest of people...DO NOT LOCK THIS TOPIC!

its not about 4 pins, cat5e works fine with 4 (100mbit). its more likely the cable was damaged or bad isolated (which can work fine with one network adapter but another can have problems. and its hard to find (cause it worked before just fine) out. glad you solved it
