Z-370 E Ethernet Internet not working while WiFi does.

I have a year and a half old Z-370 E motherboard that a few months ago stopped allowing the internet to work over Ethernet/LAN. Data can still travel over Ethernet but no internet. I have to use Wifi as my primary connection, but it's not as reliable or fast particularly during uploads, and for work that's a problem.

It's not the router as other wired devices are working fine and I've swapped Ethernet ports and cables. After narrowing it down to the PC I went through troubleshooting help with Microsoft and after checking a lot of things, they concluded I'd have to re-install Windows... drastic! And not something you want to do in the middle of a project. But I did it on a new Hard drive, a complete clean install and the internet still didn't work over Ethernet. So I'm left to assume it's a motherboard issue. Have you heard of this happening? Could it be a setting in the BIOS?

Still no leads here... does anyone have any suggestions. It seems like I'm not the only one as there's another post about a similar issue on wifi.

If it's still under warranty, RMA it.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I only just saw them. I'd given up on hearing back on this topic. But as an update...

I tried reseting the motherboard bios to see if that helped, and it didn't. So I bought a PCU-E Lan Network card and it worked immediately.

As a side note I just want to point out that I had already given up on the Blu-Tooth feature almost immediately as that kept losing it's connection with my keyboard. So I have a USB blu-tooth dongle for that. It looks like the built in connection features just aren't very reliable.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to replace the motherboard... that's a big job! So these add-ons will have to do. Thanks for the responses though. Hopefully this helps others with similar issues.
