Killer Network Not working

[richardgra]

I have been getting every say month, at random times an issue where my internet suddenly drops and my BT router stays blue (good connection). When I go to diagnose it comes up with a bunch of errors but the main one which stays is:
'Ethernet does not have a valid IP configuration'
Now I have tried everything to fix this including the huge post here:https://windowsreport.com/ethernet-valid-ip-configuration-windows-10/

However nothing in this works.
While attempting to fix a number of different errors occured this time including:
"The Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller adapter is experiencing driver- or hardware-related problems".
This was after hard reseting the network adapter, it got stuck and this came up. I then uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled the adapter. To which the problem went back to the valid IP config issue. Now I have 'Killer Diagnostics' from when I had this error previously, so will attach that file if possible.

The internet came back on after the third attempt of shutting everything down (router, computer) waiting a few minutes and turning it back on. When it did come back I got 'Windows could not automatically detect network's proxy settings' and after 2 minutes it just starting working again.

Basically I'm writing this because it is going to happen again and I have no idea why, so if anyone has any ideas that'd be grand. Also I have a feeling Killer Network is the problem so if there is another adapter that works with my motherboard I would be happy to try it. (ms-7821)

Now more confused. I uninstalled the killer network suite on 'Uninstall a Program' and apps and features. Then I was still connected to the internet? I thought I needed a network adapter to stay connected.

Then installed the driver alone (downloaded prior to uninstall). Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.

Good luck!

From what i read microsofts last large patch which is actually 3 or 4 months old caused all kinds of issues for killer. Some people it takes longer to cause issues.

They have a newer driver but the best option is load the driver that completely removes all the killer features. Last time I looked it was not on the same download area on the killer site but they do have it.

Uninstalling the APP is only part of it you must actually use different drivers to completely remove it.

When I look at mother boards the first thing I check is if it has a killer nic and that immediately takes it off my list.
