Thanks for this, The fix for me was either the "ipconfig /flushdns" or the "netsh winsock reset". Either way that's what fixed it for me as I also did not have auto disable gigabit... probably for laptops.

I found this video b/c I've been having problems for weeks w/my lenovo ideapad 15abr freezing and/or rebooting itself. I believe I isolated the problem to this Ethernet card, which when disabled, stabilizes the issue. Today, I discovered the network reset feature of Windows 10 (currently running 1809) and since then, I've had the adapter running for several hours w/no freeze. Can you please share anything you know about this issue? Thanks for your help! :)

can u help where can i found a win10 driver for realtek pcie gbe family controller? i found only win8.1 driver.
This approach seemed to improve the situation but I still got dropped signals. What finally worked was disabling Ethernet under Change Adapter Options (I have a wifi network).
If you can help me figure out why my brand new Realtek Gaming GbE family controller will not give internet access with my google fiber ethernet connection i would be very grateful to you! Ive updated the latest drivers and run every tutorial i can find online and still network is recognized but no internet. Windows 11.

Hey Man loving your videos! could you make a video on how to fix the realtek error network controller not found, when installing drivers. i can’t see any signs of ethernet in the device manager or anywhere, the light also doesn’t blink
My internet works good until I change my os this problem occurs,is motherboard got damaged ?
My issue is with the wireless driver. I have realtek family drivers too but oy only works with Ethernet not with wifi. How do I fix that?
I have two Realtec PBIe controllers in my Device MGR. It has #2 after it. Ok to delete?
Would this solve my PC from waking itself up? I found that this controller was listed as one of the culprits that is waking my PC up besides keyboard. I never had this issue until my PC updated windows 11
Omg thank youuu soooo muuuch, my internet now work perfectly again

@@MDTechVideosInternational You would have been helpful to me if you, 1st, had available on your screen, that which you were talking about, & 2nd, spoke more clearly & slowly, as you sped through your entire narration, slurring your words most of the time. Example, what was it that you were trying to describe with the auto disable gigabit option? You mentioned it, but between not actually having that available on your screen, & never actually saying which option to select, is very frustrating! I tried slowing the playback speed, reading the transcript, but after trying to replay ~dozen times, I still can't find that info. I had to do downvote your video for that reason alone.
im not having connectivity issues (yet) but i have noticed everything loads a lot slower , and its costing me at least $150 bucks a month for the best high speed internet and wi-fi .

You do not want to auto disable gigabit unless you are looking to save power. Applying this setting means you will only connect at 100 Mbps. (Some of the following settings may not be available on all network controllers so apply where possible.) On the properties tab of your Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller click the Power Management tab, uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. On the Advanced tab, Disable the following: Auto Disable Gigabit, Energy Efficient Ethernet, Gigabit lite, Green Ethernet, Power Saving Mode. Your speed and duplex should be set the same as the switch or router you are connecting to. Most likely Auto unless you have reconfigured your Switch or Router.

I have a desktop PC running Windows 10 with Realtek PCIe Gbe Family Controller (driver 10.36.701.2019). I subscribe to Spectrum's Gigabit service. My cable modem router is rated at 2Gbps. My ethernet speed of this desktop PC at this location (in my house) is about 210 Mbps. When I connect a different PC at this ethernet location (a laptop), I get 940 Mbps. I checked the "Speed & Duplex" option in the Advanced tab of the Properties, and it is set for "1.0 Gbps Full Duplex". I'm completely frustrated. What else can I do?

Welp, none of this fixed the issues for me, it still refuses to run at more than 100mbps. I'm using Cat5e cable that's about 20 meters length from the switch, so that should be within the maximum? I've also installed the right Realtek driver and done all of the things mentioned in this video. It did run at 1000mbps for a few minutes before going down to 100mbps.

I know this video is a year old, but I really am losing my mind here. I have an Asus motherboard, the PRIME H-310 PLUS (The original, NOT the Rev 2.0 version). I got a new case for my setup, had no problems with ethernet before the transfer and now suddenly it just doesn't work. The device manager says that the RealTek PCIe GBE Family Controller ISN'T working correctly. I tried getting the drivers straight from RealTek, but surprise surprise, it said that there wasn't any such device installed on my PC, which is complete crap otherwise it wouldn't be showing up in Device Manager at all. I don't have the disc for my motherboard anymore, I guess I lost it somewhere along the line and I can't seem to find the correct drivers for it anywhere. I followed every step in this video but to no avail. I'd very much appreciate a response. Thanks.

I reinstalled windows and it seemed to have fixed the issue, I have no idea why Windows would suddenly think the controller doesn't exist when it clearly does, but whatever, I have a new one now anyway.
