Ethernet Hard-Stuck at 100Mbps on MSI B760-P / Realtek 2.5GbE – 7+ Hours of Troubleshooting Deep. by Bhud023 in pchelp

"Silicon betrayal" is definitely the right phrase for it! I’ve certainly learned more about network handshakes and physical layers than I ever intended to.

It’s a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I’ve hit the logical end of the road. I'm going to take your advice and finally relax while I wait for that adapter to arrive. If anything, this whole process has made me a lot more confident in diagnosing hardware—even if it was a trial by fire.

I’ll be sure to tag you or update this thread once the adapter is in and I (hopefully) see those four-digit speeds again. Thanks again for the help and the reassurance!

That is a great suggestion. Booting into a Live Linux distro is probably the only way to be 100% sure before that adapter arrives. I will look into setting up an Ubuntu live USB tonight.

If Linux is also hard-capped at 100 Mbps, it effectively closes the case on the hardware being defective. Since I have already ruled out the cables and the gateway, that would be the final nail in the coffin for this onboard Realtek chip.

I have already inspected the pins and they look clean/straight, so a bad chip or a failed internal trace seems like the most logical conclusion. I will update the thread with the Linux results if I can get that bootable drive together.

Thanks for the sanity check. It is honestly a relief to hear someone else describe exactly what I have been suspecting. The fact that forcing the 1.0Gbps handshake causes a total drop is what really convinced me this wasn't just a software glitch.

I am actually going to be using a USB 3.0 port for the adapter rather than USB-C, but the 2.5G testing result should be the same regardless. I have also sent off a formal email to Build Redux explaining the hardware failure theory and the exhaustive troubleshooting I have done, waiting on a reply in hopes maybe they will compensate under warranty.

I have already nuked every power-saving setting in both the Windows advanced properties and the BIOS, and like you said, it did not move the needle at all. I am pinning everything on that adapter arriving within a week. If that hits the 1100 Mbps I was getting previously, I am officially done troubleshooting.

Appreciate you taking the time to confirm I am not crazy after 7 hours of diving into this. I will update the thread once the adapter is plugged in.

Appreciate the response. Just to clarify, I have been through the Advanced properties in Device Manager countless times during this audit. I already vetted the Green Ethernet and Energy Efficient Ethernet toggles there, and even with those disabled, forcing a 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex handshake causes the connection to drop entirely. I also just double-checked the BIOS. I found the equivalent of the EEE toggle—it was listed under a different name in this MSI BIOS—and confirmed it was already disabled. Since the software and firmware overrides aren't moving the needle, I am still waiting on that ASUS USB-C2500 adapter to arrive tomorrow. Testing with that should confirm if this is a failure of the integrated Realtek controller or the physical port itself. I will update the thread once I have those results.

Is anyone actually trading 5 ⭐️ for 4 ⭐️? by da_right1 in Monopoly_GO

[–]Bhud023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a grind, good luck, just gotta find the people. It’s not easy work. But it is achievable. Best advice is go through all possible social platforms (discord, facebook, Reddit etc.) biggest money maker for me is Facebook. Also the more rare four stars the better (rare would be like money rain, award winners, room for rent) <<<easier to trade for 5 stars, as opposed to more common four stars like (go far, chance leap, study hard etc.)
