[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

[acerzr2]

I'm not sure what you mean by Drivers & Software version. I'm pretty sure that I only have the driver installed.

Is it called Intel network connections 20.2.4001.0? I dont remember installing that.

OK that worked like a charm. It installed properly after I uninstalled the Intel network connections software like
you said! Thanks again Mokichu and keep up the great work!

@Mokichu

Could you kindly let me know which ETHERNET/WIFI/BLUETOOTH is correct for my board ( Maximus X Code )?

I Appreciate it in advance =)

Hi,

I use these same drivers (I21x-V (1.0GbE) : 12.18.9.23 WHQL [20/04/2020]) on several PCs and I have no issue, so if you have issue, the issue is on your side.

Anyway, try this :

- Download I21x-V (1.0GbE) : 12.18.9.23 WHQL [20/04/2020] drivers from the first page of the thread.
- If you use a Drivers & Sofware version (not Drivers Only) and therefore you see Intel Network software in your apps installed, uninstall it (Start > Settings > Apps) then restart your PC.
- Launch Driver Store Explorer > Check the boxes of all versions of Intel drivers in Network adapters section.
- Check the box "Force Deletion" then click on the "Delete Package" button then restart your PC.
- Follow the Install Process of I21x-V (1.0GbE) from the first page of the thread.

Ok, It looks like that the easy (and I think only) way in fixing this is unplugging the lan cable from the motherboard and plug it back in a couple of times.
If I do so from the router side it does not work.
Disabling/enabling back the network adapter in Windows worked yesterday, but it took longer time as it get stuck with an Unknown Network for longer, while today with the unplug/plug thing motherboard side the Unknown Network was there a few secs.

Said so, I don't have any software installed. I remember that before finding your drivers I was using the default windows ones or use directly the Intel drivers from Intel's website.

I don't think is a cable issue as when I result in being correctly connected, I surf the web with no issues, can play online with decent ping and no lags, and SpeedTest.net results are in line with my type of contract that are as follows:

PING ms 11
DOWNLOAD Mbps 85.81
UPLOAD Mbps 14.05

What else can I do? What could it be?
I have tried to change ethernet port on my router but it happens the same thing at each Windows boot up.
Can you link me the old drivers just for a test? That I remember, I have never had an issue with them..

Thank you again.

Hey guys I am having a problem with latest firmware 1.45 and latest driver.
The connection disrupts for 5 or so seconds, the windows taskbar icon goes "no internet" then it reconnects.
Started to happen when I updated to latest driver.
Before with version 1.0.0.13 no issues. Any new drivers soon? Should I rollback?

Ive experienced strange throttling issues with the I225-V. Nothing seemed to fix it... I tried EVERYTHING. Including a brand new motherboard... While i didnt experience complete disconnects but Ive also seen reports of exactly what your saying... And yes your correct that rolling back to 1.0.0.13 will stop the drops. But you will see on this thread the NIC will then still suffer from horrible packet loss..... https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comme...ith_the_intel/

I opened a ticket with intel regarding the poor behavior of the intel I-225V NIC. I submitted all my findings plus sent off the requested log reports generated by a tool they asked me to run... Will anything ever come of it? Who knows but i suggest anyone having issues with it to do the same and submit a ticket to intel. Intel is the only ones who MIGHT possibly be able to fix this.

Ok so I've read about it.
It might depend on which controller we got. V1 or updated V2? Someone on reddit told all new boards have this bug fixed and updated with the new version of I225V..
I've just rolled back to 1.0.0.13 and set manually to 1.0 gbits full duplex. Ran a few test for packet loss- 0% so far.
Will do further testing and post if any issues.....But we need this fix from intel ASAP. It is sad that it appears to be a Hardwire problem with controller. How could they not have tested this?


Thank you for answers. guys.
