GTR9 Pro has a new problem with the LAN connection?

Maybe GTR9 Pro has a new problem with the LAN connection?
I’m only seeing a 1Gbit/s connection from the router to the computer, but the router (Fritz!Box), is set to 2.5Gbit/s!
Are others experiencing this problem?

Hi there, here are the possible solutions :
①Here is the driver you can try to update at the moment [https://url.bee-link.cn/4gzz]， but this is not the new driver yet.

②Reboot Everything: Turn off your GTR9 Pro and your Fritz!Box. Wait 30 seconds, turn the Fritz!Box back on, wait for it to fully boot, then turn the GTR9 Pro back on. This can often re-trigger a successful speed negotiation.

③Check the Cable: Swap your current Ethernet cable for a certified CAT6 or CAT6A cable. This is the cheapest and easiest test.

④Check the Link Speed in Windows:

Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings.

Click on your Ethernet connection (e.g., “Ethernet 1”).

Look for “Link speed (Receive/Transmit)”.

Done, but no success
Cable is Cat 8
Speed in Windows is shown correct, 2.5GB/s
If i change to W-LAN, i see 1.7GB/s

Maybe this is also an issue with the Intel LAN driver for Linux (here Zorin OS 18 Pro based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)

Achimd1 Hi! You may want to check what kernel version you are using with your Zorin OS 18 Pro (based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) system. As I have noted here, the Intel E610-XT2 NIC on the GTR9 Pro is a very recent hardware platform (released Apr 2025). To be fully supported by the built-in kernel module driver (ixgbe) a more recent Linux kernel version is required, around 6.14.0 or higher (depending on the build). The more recent the better.

In fact, as is so new, the very recent or current driver developments (recently or yet to be released) will only reach the Linux kernel on future relases (yet to be developed). Alternatively, you may want to manually build and install the latest out-of-tree Intel ixgbe driver yourself and keep the older default kernel running with it.

Hi jotapesse,
I’m currently running the official kernel, 6.14.0-34-generic!
I also tried the Liquorix kernel 6.17-6ubuntu1-noble, but that didn’t improve anything either.
So I guess we’ll have to wait for a new driver from Intel…

But in the meantime, I’ve noticed another issue under Zorin OS 18 (based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS):
When the computer wake UP from standby, the CPU fans start up with high speed, but then stay at that speed!
Only a restart fixes it.

Perhaps there’s a way to change this via a setting in the BIOS?

Achimd1 No, that’s a known issue unfortunately: system Sleep (S0) is not properly supported by current BIOS on the GTR9 Pro.
