Troubleshooting Ethernet Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Alpha

Posted by dkeenes@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments

I have had this build for a while now and I'm running into an issue with the ethernet port not detecting the cable. I've run through the windows trouble shooter and it says to plug the ethernet cable in. I have checked the ethernet cable with a different computer and the cable is working so it is not the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled LAN drivers, changed the duplex settings, done a network reset, changed CSM settings in the BIOS, ensured the LAN port is enabled in the BIOS and nothing is working. I was able to test the ethernet port from the device manager to show a blinking light so the port works, it is just not recognizing the ethernet cable. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
