CAX80 Multigig Port Behavior
Hi. So this forum is full of the issue in the subject line. After reading hours of comments and discussions I understand that this multi-gig port is essentially not stable, period. I'm a Senior Sy...
Alright so time for an update and with some great news! After downloading the latest Intel NIC driver installer package from Intel's website and and installing it, I'm happy to finally say this problem is 100% gone. I will note however, that with using the Amazon cable the problem comes back, but on my six year old cable the connection is rock solid.

For any connection rates 2.5Gb or higher that's beyond 1Gb, CAT6A STP is recommended. Shielded Twisted Pair.
I've been using my CAX80 with it's MG port and have not had any issues connecting to it with a PC or with MG supporting routers connected to the CAX80 MG port. Yes, I use CAT6A STP cabling.
