Hi @orbistat    I have Dell Inspiron 5675 with Win 10. According to Device Manager, the LAN device is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

Hi again,   Unfortunately the replacement modem didn't fix the issue. It's exactly as before. Most of the days when i get home from work and turn on the PC, the issue is present.
