Ensure that the LAN controller is enabled.
Also, check for any Power -saving settings that could be disabling the network card. Save changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI, then test if the issue is resolved. Test the Ethernet Cable and Port: Swap the Ethernet cable with a known working one to eliminate the possibility of a cable fault. Try plugging the cable into a different port on your router or switch to rule out issues with the port. Update Your Motherboard’s BIOS: Some compatibility issues are due to older BIOS versions. Check the motherboard manufacturer's website for any BIOS updates that may address networking issues. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to update your BIOS, as a failed BIOS update can render your motherboard unusable. Disable Power Saving Features: In Windows, go to "Device Manager," right-click on your network adapter ( RTL8111F-CG ), and select "Properties." In the " Power Management " tab, uncheck the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." This ensures that the NIC remains powered on during all system states. Check for Operating System Conflicts: Sometimes, issues arise due to software conflicts with third-party applications. Boot into safe mode (without loading non-essential drivers) to see if the issue persists. If the NIC works fine in safe mode, the problem is likely software-related. Try disabling or uninstalling any recently installed software that may be causing the issue. Try the NIC in Another System: If possible, test the motherboard or NIC in another system. This can help determine whether the issue lies with the network card itself or with the motherboard. Consider Replacing the NIC: If all else fails and you are still experiencing compatibility issues despite troubleshooting, you might need to replace the RTL8111F-CG with a newer or different network card model that has better compatibility with your motherboard.Conclusion
Compatibility issues with the RTL8111F-CG Ethernet chip can stem from a variety of causes, including outdated drivers, BIOS settings, or hardware faults. By following the step-by-step troubleshooting guide outlined above, you can easily identify and resolve the issue in most cases. If the problem persists after all steps, it could be a more complex hardware issue that may require replacement of the NIC or motherboard.
