Was using before 1.0.0.13- that was super stable.

I switched to 1.0 Gbps in driver settings tho. I do not need 2.5GBe. EEE is off, tried ON - didnt see any difference to be honest.-

You should probably update the firmware.

I've got the newest firmware.

I do not like how the adapter behaves on 2.5GB ...It doesnt disconnect but looks like i am having packet loss.
Does anyone know how to look which revision I got on my motherboard? Where to look exactly?

Can you please tell me where to check if EEE is on or off?
Thank you.

Hi MoKiChU, thx for driver updates..

Hey MoKiChU
Just in case you missed it, Intel AX200 drivers got a recent update:
22.20.0 1/12/2021

Was putting together a new client PC and noticed it was updated.

When it happens I have to disable/enable the network adapter from Windows settings a few times or unplug/plug in the lan cable a few times.

Checked my router and it seems to work good. Could it be a driver issue? Where can I find your last driver so to try that out and see if it indeed is related to this last version?

Thank you in advance.

That could be from applying some tweaks on your Windows. Wait 30-60seconds. it will get connected, just wont be right away. If thats your case...

Recently, I noticed the 1.0.1.8 driver was released so I updated my driver and started seeing around 5% packet loss.

The difference between 1.0.1.4 and 1.0.1.8 is the older driver did not auto-negotiate EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) and was disabled, whereas 1.0.1.8 did auto-negotiate EEE and was enabled. When I disabled EEE with the 1.0.1.8 driver, my packet loss disappeared.

TL; DR - If you're having connectivity issues with the I225-V, it may be worth trying to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet.

Yes, many people have that problem, internet connection drops & have packet loss and slow Up/Download speeds. Its the silicon and Intel cant do much about it. They say the fix works 100% & its fixed in the next revisions of the silicon but there are people with them that still have the same problems. Only thing that works but its not 100% fix is to flash NVM to 1.45 (even if you already did it). Im posting the fix and the thread on Intel Forum. I will make a separate post because this is important.

Interesting, and thanks for sharing.

Does anybody know if these issues might happen with I21x-V (1.0GbE) Intel ethernet adapters as well? I have a Ethernet Intel® I219-V 1.0Gbit Lan adapter, and some times I encounter internet connection drops & have packet loss and slow Up/Download speeds.
I have recently passed to fiber cable (have changed home internet connection, but provider is the same), and as far that I have learn only my pc is affected. Nwither my 2 other laptops I have in the house and my smartphones have any of that.

Thanks for the help.

Hi MoKiChU,

Here I am again with a request about I225 chip.

As you know the INF file created a reoccurring event 27 issues and updates were eventually out creating a fix.

Unfortunately, this issue is happening with the new I225 chip. I get Event 27
The description for Event ID 27 from source e2fexpress cannot be found.
Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted.
The only issue is that the message now is e2dexpress
FRENCH (La description de l’ID d’événement 27 dans la source e2fexpress est introuvable. Le composant qui a déclenché cet événement n’est pas installé sur l’ordinateur local ou l’installation est endommagée. Vous pouvez installer ou réparer le composant sur l’ordinateur local.)

Here is the ID of the Chip
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15F3&SUBSYS_87D21043&REV_03

Isa there a fix for .INF to stop errors?

Thanks

Hi,

Even after install,

Unfortunately I still have the event 27 issue from the .INF
La description de levenenement 27 dans la source e2fexpress est introuvable. Le composant qui a déclencher cet evenement nest pas installer sur lordinateur local ou linstallation est endommager. Vous pouvez installer ou reparer le composant sur lordinateur local.

Si levenement provient dun autre ordinateur, les informations daffichage doivent etre enregistrer avec levenement.

Les informations suivantes etaient incluses avec levenement:

Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (3) I225-V

Hi MoKiChU,

Nope that didn't work. I saw in an other thread that it seems to be an .inf config.

If you find anything let me know.

Thanks.

BTW a bunch of VSS errors :rolleyes:

I also have have the Intel I219-V and sometimes experience connection loss while high bandwidth usage, and would like to know what the latest Firmware for that controller is, and if MoKiChU could provide that.

I also found there is a new Firmware (Intel I21x Lan controller Firmware Version 3.30, posted 05 Feb 2021) on station-driv..., but i am not sure if this is actually applicable here.

Regards

But is that a firmware or a driver? Because if it's a firmware is it maybe something that is intended to be flashed on the Ethernet chip or something...(?)

There is a new Intel Corporation - Bluetooth - 22.30.0.4 for 8xxx/9xxx/AX2xx that has came up from windows update

This one came up in Windows update after upgrading to Windows beta version 21H1.

Where do we find the firmware updates for Intel Lan? I mean the Asus support page for XII Formula clearly says:

"Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Driver V1.0.1.4 for Windows 10 64-bit.
Before installing Intel I225-V driver v.1.0.1.4, please ensure that Intel I225-V firmware should be updated to v.1.45 via firmware update tool. After finishing necessary firmware update, please shut down and unplug the power cord then reboot the system normally. For more information, please refer to the firmware update guide."

Yet no where in the downloads and the bios/FW tab does it say anything about lan fw. I ran intel's driver and support assistant but it says everything is up to date.

I also for the life of me can't seem to find where it states what FW my Intel Lan has currently. With all the talk of the i225 causing so many issues I'm currently using the Marvel Lan after swapping from XI Formula/9900K to XII Formula/10900K so it's a fresh upgrade.

So I guess the FW update was with the download for 1.0.1.4. I ran it shut down killed the psu power waited and then installed the FW. I have a 200meg connection that generally I get 220-230 out of. Well less then 3meg is what I'm getting using speed test and a 30ping when normal is low teens. Rebooted and retested 13 ping and 30meg down. So rolled back to what windows installed which is 1.0.2.6 instead of the 1.0.2.8 on the first post and going to give it a whirl.

That looks like the trick. My XII Formula doesn't like the 1.0.2.8 i225 drivers on the first post but likes 1.0.2.6 that windows slaps in. Go figure.

Nope that didn't do the trick. Just ran it again 29 ping 2.23 down. WTF. I'm about to pull the plug on the Intel nic and go with the Marvel. This is a joke not to mention a PITA!

Well what a crap shoot this has been have random 5% packet loss and inconsistent speedtest runs on Intel. Switch to Marvel and lord 30-35% packet loss. Don't really want to use wifi considering this is my game rig and the router is in the same room so would much rather be hard wired but this is pathetic.

Well got it all sorted I think finally. Was getting about 5% random packet loss with Intel and 30-35% with Marvel. Got the newest drivers installed for both finally and no packet loss although Marvel is kinda all over the place with 100 as the test.

5.0
min 8ms max 17ms average 12ms
speedtest 10-12ms down 188.5-204/10-11

intel lan
min 8ms max 19ms average 12ms
Speedtest 8-11ms 176-184/10-11

Mervel

I can't seem to get this to work at all. I'm using a ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI with 2 x Intel® I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet
Help!!

Hello there!

Have you ever experienced issues in LAN speed like if you were going to fast-ethernet 100 Mbs ??
I am having a strange behaviors, like if I'm limited as on Speedtest I get between 80 and 90 Mbs on both upload and download, while I should go at 800 Mbs as I am on fiber FTTH.
I was able to go to those speed, but since a while (and I frankly don't know from when) I can't anymore.
It is not my internet speed as with my laptop with gigabit ethernet and connected to the modem with the cable like the pc I am able to reach 800 Mbs.

EDIT: forgot to mention that in the Advanced features of the drivers properties, under Speed & Duplex I have Auto Negotiation set as default.
If I try to force it to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex I get no connection, and the icon of my ethernet adapter in Dial-Up Networking has a red big X on it, being unable to connect to the lan network.
If I force it to 100 Mbps Full Duplex, everything works perfectly.
And my cables and router are still the as always, never did any hardware change.

Any suggestions on what I could try?
Thank you in advise.

- If you have an issue with the drivers package from my threads > Install/use the drivers package from your motherboard support page > If you steel have an issue (and therefore the issue is not specific to the drivers package from my thread) > Open a ticket with ASUS Support.

Hi,

which are the right Bluetooth drivers for my ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO mobo ?

Windows 10 doesn't choose them automatically...

Attachment 88892

Thanks in advance.

Drivers - 9xxx/AX2xx : 22.60.0.6 WHQL is available. MoKiChU, are you able to provide this version here? Right now I can get it via Windows Insiders Windows (Optional) Updates.

Upgrading my Z490-G Gaming i225-V driver to 1.0.2.13 breaks it - no hardware conflicts but computer wont connect to the internet. Reverting back to 1.0.0.14 from the Asus site fixes it. Intel and maybe Asus really messed up on the i225-V.

Intel Bluetooth Drivers 8xxx/9xxx/AX2xx : 22.60.0.6 WHQL also from winupdate if your a insider

Hello MoKiChU.

I am encountering an issue that I am unable to fix. My ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING (WI-FI AC) pc can't connect to my LAN network at higher speeds rather than 100 Mbs.
Speedtest.net gives me results of about 89 Mbs in download and 93 Mbs in upload.

Some time ago I was able to go to 1000 Mbs with results of 730 Mbs in download and 190 Mbs in upload, but after a while I am not able anymore.
I have tried to connect another computer to same LAN cable and everything works perfectly with high speeds as it was before with the ASUS Z370 computer.
Only thing I have done in this period of times is update your drivers every time you released it.

EDIT: Other thing that I can say is that if in the ethernet device properties I change the Speed & Duplex from Auto Negotiation to to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex, the device does not connect to the lan, giving back a red X on the ethernet device. If I put it back to Auto Negotiation or set it to 100 Mbps Full Duplex, it connects flawlessly.
LAN and cable are 1.0 Gbps compliant, and as a demonstration, connecting another computer that is 1.0 Gbps compliant, this second computer goes to 1.0 Gbps.

I frankly don't if all this is driver related as I have also tried to roll back to some of your old drivers, leading me at no success, so if you might have any idea on what to check or how to find a fix, please let me know.

Best regards and thank you for your great work.

Hi, MoKiChu
What do you think about upgrade Intel LAN firmware ? How to check existing version ? Is it correct for Z590-A mobo ?

If this driver is the last one, it didn't should be posted at motherboard (Asus ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming in my case) oficial download site?

If Asus kept up on drivers, we wouldn't have such a thread and MoKiChU would be saving the world in another way.
