Re: CAX80 Multi-gig ethernet port dropping
I am also having this exact issue. Just with the 2.5g port. The port functions for an undefined period of time then the blue light goes off, the connection stalls, then it drops to 1g. Even on 1g the ...
So as I mentioned somewhere earlier (or maybe on the other thread), I got this thing used (as=is) off the bay, so it could be very well have other issues. What I don't understand is this. Just what difference does it make which NIC is in the PC when I only have the issue when wireless is Enabled? As soon as I disable it I run forever. In other words, what does the Multi gig port have to do with wireless section of the Gateway?
Possible that there is some odd interference happening with these particular branded adatpers that these adapters maybe effected by the CAX80s wifi when thats enabled.
What do you see on the adatper, in windows and on the front of the CAX multi gig port LED? I presume the color must change from BLUE to something else when this happens?
So far Realtek here is working. I need to find out what the MSI Tomahawk board uses. I presume Intel or Realtek maybe.
Would be a test if you got a Intel or a Realtek board or a 2.5Gb only board in to try and see if the same thing happens.
