ethernet showing not connected on pc on my N600
For some reason out of no where my pc is showing that my ethernet port is not connected when it is. I have reset it, changed cables, tried to hook my second pc up, switched ports on back. Same result...
Is the port, perhaps, disabled on your PC?
I dont believe so. In fact, no settings were ever changed on either pc I hooked it up to. Honestly I dont remember how to even change that. Whats weird is that my xbox works fine on either connection and both ethernet cables. Literally just worked one day then the next it said the ethernet cable was disconnected.
Are you running Windows? If so, you'll probably want to pull up the Device Manager and make sure the Ethernet card is listed as a Network Adapter. Did you try using a different port on the router?
I did try both ports with different cables as well. I did check the device manager which said it was working properly and set as default. Also reset the router. Still both pcs not recognizing it. One of my pcs is never connected to the internet but the other is always. I thought it could be a virus but nope. I wonder if the router has a fault not allowing it to connect to a windows based pc? its definitely fried my brain. lol
How about reloading NIC driver from device manager?
Hello fsavala
Have you been able to fix this if so how?
