So everytime i turn off my computer completely, it takes like 3 minutes for my MB to register, that i have a valid connection

The process:
1. Turning off computer, letting it shut down completely by itself
2. Turn off my switch that my computer is plugged into. (That being my PSU that is plugged in obv.)
3. Turn on my computer again, let it start like i do everyday, write my login pass and all that.
4. When i'm at my desktop (background), it shows this little yellow triangle showing, i got limited network.
5. When i just let it run without doing anything (doesn't matter if i do anything or not, doesn't make any difference) after approx 3 min it's like it registers the network, so that i got internet.
6. When i then check my internet speed, i only have 10/10, until i restart my PC, i then have 100/100 (10 Mb/s)

What i've tried myself so far:
1. Make sure i got the latest MB driver possible (A7 atm)
2. Restart my computer before i enter login pass, didn't change anything.
3. Uninstalled and intalled the latest network driver. (Keep in mind, i ONLY install drivers from this webpage "MSI")
4. Made sure there's nothing wrong with moderm. (No other device plugged to LAN is having the troubles.
5. Made sure there's nothing wrong with my cable. (I've tried multiple)

My specs:
PSU: Corsair RM750X
MEM: Vengeance® LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2133MHz C13 Memory Kit - Blue
COOLER: 2x 140mm 2x 200mm 2x 140mm and EVO 212 cpu cooler
OC: Only my GPU from stock
OS: Windows 10 Pro (Legit)

Solution
It is exactly the reverse of what you wrote; it has to be outside of the DHCP lease range. When I configure networks, I assign static IP addresses to servers, switches, routers, etc. Then the DHCP server is configured to lease addresses in a range that's outside of the static IP addresses. As an example IP addresses 1-40 may be reserved for static and 41-254 assigned to DHCP. That way there can't be IP address conflicts between static and dynamic IP addresses.
All my drivers is installed through MSI's homepage, as described. I wouldn't be able to check, as i'm the only one having a PC in the house. The TV box runs through LAN aswell, but there's no network issues what so ever, even if it got turned off completely.

If it's ISP related, how can i then fix it? Can't do much, if i don't know what to say or do? XD

Btw. Sry for late answer, didn't get notified i got a reply...
 
The LAN cable that goes from PC is connected to a swtich, which is connected to a hub. I don't see how getting another IP address will change anything? (I've tried to obtain a random IP address everytime i shutdown, doesn't do the trick either, so i'm back at static IP address)
 


Seems like it works. I'll get back to you tomorrow, it if didn't 😀 (It's 3am at my place 😉 ) But thanks anyways for trying, if it doesn't 😛 I'll let you know aswell, if it did work 😀
 


So i changed the duplex to 100/100, tested if it worked (i've let it been turned off atleast 4 hours today). It kinda did the same thing, but in another method:
Instead of showing a yellow triangle and only give me limited connection after approx 3 min, it shows my LAN cable as unplugged (red cross at the ethernet icon), i then waited like 1-2 min and suddenly i have connection, with full speed and everything? I'm clueless?
 


Through MSI's forum, it seems like "MSI Gaming Lan Manager" is an issue / blocker for the ethernet to properly work.

And no sry, i don't have any or can borrow any Gigabit Ethernet switch.
 


Can't really tell. It seems like it has to stay shut for like 30 min? Idk ... I'll be able to tell tomorrow.
 


Well. It should be, as i set my static ip from an automated ip address i was given.
Well, i don't hope it's the MB itself, as i've done 1 RMA before with this model. And if i turn on my PC right after all power from the PC is gone, it doesn't make the "error", it's only doing it, when i've had my computer turned off for like 1 hour+ ?
 
Why would you set a static IP address to an address that was dynamically provided? If you have a DHCP server, then let it assign an IP address to your PC or reconfigure the DHCP server to make sure your IP address is excluded. You should not use an IP address that could cause a conflict.
 


I'm not 100% sure what DHCP is. (You don't need to explain, i can google 😀) but would the DHCP server be able to maintain my IP address? I got some ports i'd like to have opened (at all times), but i won't ever be able to do that, with an IP address changing everytime i restart my PC :) But i've never had any troubles with my static IP adress before? (It sorta just happened a long time ago, my connection failing on me the first 2-3 min)
 
Then just make sure your static IP address is not in the DHCP range. I presume that you have access to the router and its configuration? Another easy solution is to use an IP address that's much higher, e.g., 192.168.0.200 (I'm sure you don't have 200 devices connecting to the router).
