Just built a desktop PC using a new MSI Z690-A Pro Wifi DDR4 mobo (I'm a newbie so I'm amazed the PC is functioning). Been having issues with only the ethernet where it has intermittent connection though download speed from tests is usually high (>700 mbps), but the upload speed is very low (<1.5 mbps). Loading sites takes a long time, minutes and many times they just don't load.
Wifi works perfectly fine (>700 mbps down, >400 mbps up). Router is like 6 feet away (Verizon Fios Gb). I changed the cord and also tested it in my laptop (works fine by speed test). I've already updated BIOS, installed all the MSI site-listed drivers, and tried to re-install the ethernet driver.
It is listed as 'Intel Ethernet Controller (3) I225-V' and has driver version 2.1.1.7. Running Windows 11, not sure if any other info would be relevant.
Appreciate any help.
Edit: After fiddling around with it, I just gave up and bought a cheap network card. Plugged it in, booted up with no problems.
