Prior to upgrading to Windows 10 from my Windows 8.1 Pro, I was sailing happily with my Realtel Ethernet adapter (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) on ASUS N551JK (https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/N551JK/)
Upon upgrading to windows 10, I started to notice regular disconnections from the internet. Then I realized I had to physically disconnect the Ethernet cable and then reconnect them back, before I continue surfing.
This got my hairstyle changing all the time.
Then I decided perhaps a visit to my friend Mr G might give me some hint.
True enough, I stumbled upon this site:
1) Visit Realtek and install the latest driver. (Might not be necessary but do it anyways)
2) Open Network and Sharing Center
3) Click on Manage adapter settings
4) Right click Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Local Area Connection) and select properties.
5) Click on configure, the Properties Dialog Box appears.
6) Switch to "Advanced" tab and change the following properties:
- Auto Disable Gigabit -> Disable
- Green Ethernet > Disable
- Energy Efficient Ethernet > Disable
7) Switch to "Power Management" tab and change the following properties:
- Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
- Click OK to apply steps 6 and 7 changes.
