When I use the Aquantia 5G port for internet on my Maximus XI Formula I get all kinds of weird issues ranging from intermittently slow internet to games either not being able to connect online or taking forever to connect/load. Black Ops 4 won't even work through the 5G port and Destiny 2 takes forever to load. I was on the driver version released in September at the time. I haven't tried the one that was just released the other day since there were no details about what it fixes/changes on the ASUS driver page.

It says to remove the previous driver before installing, I have done a fresh install of windows 10 since the last time I tried using the 5G port. Can anyone confirm if windows installs a default driver for the 5G port and whether it needs to be removed first? Or can I just go ahead and install the new 5G driver? I didn't bother installing the driver when I installed windows because of the problems it gave me last time.
