At the same time I subscibed to the NBN I purchased a new computer. What happens is that when my computer goes to sleep the ethernet connection is effected and although it shows a connection icon in the bottom RH of my screen there is effectively no internet. The internet will come back on and works perfectly if i reset the modem/router. Restarting my computer or unplugging the ethernet cable does not fix my problem.
I have tried another computer using the ethernet connection and it works fine. Also the wifi works fine at all times (even when there is no ethernet internet).
I rang TPG and they went through their checks and advised that the problem was my end. I have reloaded windows, looked for updated drivers for my ethernet card and the problem persists.
Today, I plugged in my old modem/router to the ethernet connection from the Archer VR 1600v modem/router and then to my computer. Using the old modem/router between my computer and the Archer modem/router appears to have fixed the problem.
The motherborard that I am using is a MSI B350M and it uses an onbord Realtex 8111H Gigabit LAN controller.
I believe that I have an interfact conflict between the hardware/software and am not sure where to go from here. Do you have any advice regarding this matter please?
