Hi,
Running into a issue here with my Realtec NIC.
It turns completely off when the PC goes into sleep mode, which results in Wake on Lan not working (NIC cannot be found).
I checked all mentioned tutorials here, checked and re-checked all power management settings, and advanced settings for the NIC, but anything I set there isn’t working.
The power management settings will also not ‘stick’ anymore either, any changes I made will revert back to the previous ones.
So I turn off the ‘turn this off to save power’ option and keep the wake on lan/magic packet turned on.
After confirming and re-opening the properties, the old settings are there again, with the ‘turn this off’ option turned on again.
I re-installed the driver to see if that would help, after some Windows updates. But that didn’t help either.
Also, any driver from the Realtec website results in lower network speeds, so that’s not an option either.
It has worked before, so I know it’s not hardware related, Somehow there’s something conflicting,
Getting a bit frustrated now…..
