I thought it might be related to the NIC’s power-saving modes. This is likely because hibernation involves completely powering down the system. It’s quite common for hardware to struggle when resuming the session after hibernating, but this wasn’t the case here. Notably, suspending to disk (hibernation) wasn’t a problem for it. In addition to the random failures, it would also stop working after the computer resumed from being suspended to memory (sleep mode). It needed a full power cycle before it would start working again literally turning the computer off and on again. Neither disabling and reenabling the NIC in the Device Manager nor rebooting the computer fixes the problem. Eventually, programs waiting on networking eventually time out and begin displaying error messages. However, no traffic is getting either in or out of the NIC.

It’s working fine according to the network status indicator and the networking troubleshooter in Windows. The NIC will randomly stop working after a few hours. As is often the case with Realtek NICs, it has been quite unreliable and is plagued with intermittent issues. It has a built-in Realtek PCIe 2,5-gigabit (RTL8125B) network interface controllers ( NIC). Softwareĭo you keep notes that you access across multiple devices? Online on a computer or app on a mobile device? I'd like to jot things down if an idea pops into my head, when I learn something new, get a new process, discover a switch port I may need to bounce.I recently got a new Asus AMD B550-PLUS (ad: available on Amazon) mainboard.
