I am trying to get the best possible setting for my Realtek PCI-e GBE family controller network card so that when it will be literally minimal or zero lag when playing online game. Additional details here: Speed & Duplex Switch link speed and duplex. Auto Negotiation: switch choose best speed automatically. 10 Mbps Half Duplex: highest link speed is 10 half. 10 Mbps Full Duplex: highest link speed is 10 full. 100 Mbps Half Duplex: highest link speed is 100 half.

100 Mbps Full Duplex: highest link speed is 100 full. 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex: highest link speed is 1000 full NetworkAddress Change the MAC address of network card.

Please do not use broadcast or multicast address. If so, the driver stops to load after the wrong MAC address changed.

IPv4 Checksum Offload OS offloads IPv4 checksum calculation to hardware. Rx & Tx Enabled: Both RX and TX are enabled. Tx Enabled: OS only offloads TX packets to hardware. Rx Enabled: OS only offloads RX packets to hardware.

Disabled: OS use software routine to calculate checksum TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4) OS offloads IPv4 TCP checksum calculation to hardware. Options are same as IPv4 Checksum Offload UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4) OS offloads IPv4 UDP checksum calculation to hardware. Options are same as IPv4 Checksum Offload Large Send Offload (IPv4) OS offloads large TCP/IPv4 segmentation to hardware.

This could improve transfer speed and reduce CPU utilization. Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4) OS offloads large TCP/IPv4 segmentation to hardware. This is a newer specification than Large Send Offload (IPv4). Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6) OS offloads large TCP/IPv6 segmentation to hardware.

Flow Control Flow control could stop TX side sending to prevent lost packets. Priority & VLAN. Priority & VLAN Enabled: Both Priority and VLAN are enabled.

Priority Enabled: Only support priority and keep VLAN ID = 0. VLAN Enabled: Only support VLAN and keep priority = 0. Priority & VLAN Disabled: Both Priority and VLAN are disabled InterruptModeration The interrupts are automatically trigger in a period. This reduces CPU utilization and improve throughput.

Receive Buffers. Receive buffer MAX (512) Transmit Buffers. Transmit buffer MAX (128) Jumbo Frame. 2KB MTU: MTU is 2.1024 bytes. 3KB MTU: MTU is 3.1024 bytes.

4KB MTU: MTU is 4.1024 bytes. 5KB MTU: MTU is 5.1024 bytes. 6KB MTU: MTU is 6.1024 bytes. 7KB MTU: MTU is 7.1024 bytes Q. What is Jumbo Frame What is the purpose of this feature A. This feature is for performance. It increases the maximum length of one packet.

It is out of ethernet specific and has ethernet switch/hub compatibility. If the ethernet switch could not support the jumbo frame, the packet will be discarded. Users may directly link the 2 machines to avoid the maximum length limitation but this also limit the connectivity. Driver will disable Large Send Offload (IPv4) after user enables this feature, TCP/IP could has better performance if it use jumbo frame without large send.

If users enable both of them, the driver automatically chooses Jumbo Packet. For switch compatibility and TCP/IP performance, it is better to use Large Send Offload (IPv4) rather than Jumbo frame PS: Although, the Advanced page has Disable, 2KB MTU, 3KB MTU. Driver will not enable the option which exceeds the NIC hardware limitation. If exceeds, driver automatically decreases the length to a proper value. How to verify jumboframe works:. Both sides enable the jumboframe to a identical value. If two sides has different jumboframe length limitation, use smaller value.

For example, cardbus 8169 and PCI 8169 should use 3KB. Both side must disable firewall. To avoid switch/hub compatiblity issue, please connect the two NICs directly. Ping a large packet to the other machine. Ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l 65000. If responses successfully, the jumboframe works. Shutdown Wake-On-Lan.

Enabled: system could wakeup from shutdown by magic packet. Disabled: PHY turn off to reduce power consumption but could not wakeup by magic packet Q. What is Shutdown Wake-On-Lan? Why have this feature? Who requires to use this feature? This feature is for power consumption. This affects shutdown mode (S5) power consumption.

Auto Disable Gigabit (PowerSaving). Disabled: Always enable gigabit. Re-Link, Battery: auto disabled gigabit when re-link and using battery.

Re-Link, Battery or AC: auto disabled gigabit when re-link Q. What is Auto Disable Gigabit? Why have this feature? Who requires to use this feature?

This feature is for power consumption. When users change the setting to Re-Link and user unplugs and plugs network cable again, the driver will automatically disable gigabit capability. Gigabit has much higher power consumption than 10/100 MBps.

For notebook users, it is recommended to turn on this to reduce power consumption. PS: This option MUST change to Re-Link to enable Auto Disable Phy' Auto Disable PCIe (PowerSaving). Disabled: No disable PCI-e when disconnected.

Re-Link, Battery: auto disable PCI-e when disconnected and using battery. Re-Link, Battery or AC: auto disable PCI-e when disconnected Q. What is Auto Disable PCIe? Why have this feature?

Who requires to use this feature? This feature is for power consumption.

When users change the setting to Enabled in battery mode and the network cable is unplugged, the driver will automatically disable PCIe mechanism. This reduces the power consumption. Auto Disable PHY (PowerSaving).

Disabled: No disable PHY when disconnected. Re-Link, Battery: auto disable PHY when disconnected and using battery. Re-Link, Battery or AC: auto disable PHY when disconnected Q.

What is Auto Disable PHY? Why have this feature? Who requires to use this feature?

This feature is for power consumption. When users change the setting to Enabled and the network cable is unplugged, the driver will automatically disable PHY. To use this feature, user MUST enable Auto Disable Gigabit first. Because gigabit link establishment takes longer time, driver needs user disable gigabit to reduce the linking time.

If both of them enabled, the linking time will be increased but power consumption reduced. The linking time about 5 seconds. Receive Side Scaling. Disabled: RSS disabled.

Enabled: RSS enabled. This feature is for better CPU utilization balance while internet browsing and file copying.

This is especially good for complex homepage content with a lot of pictures. Because OS will create one TCP connection for each picture. Those TCP connections will dispatch to different CPUs. From driver layer to application layer, data transfer and picture decoding runs on different CPU. This feature could not increase total throughput. It designed for better CPU utilization.

The network performance benchmark tool may show that the total throughput decreased when RSS enabled. It is recommend end-user who care for better CPU utilization to enable this feature.

When RSS enabled, driver allocates two distinct receive buffer. The receiving buffer size is two times than RSS disabled.

Realtek Pcie Gbe Family Controller Driver W10

As of today I've ran into this problem on my desktop in which I cant access the internet, it allows me to go on steam and be online but it doesn't fully load the profile pictures and such when im in my library and doesn't allow me to use store, community, activity etc, same goes for trying to access the internet the page simply does not load. I used the troubleshooter for my network and it seems to be a problem with Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller any help as to what the problem may be and how to fix it? OS: Win 8.1 MOBO: ASUS Z87-K If any more specs are needed I can provide them and if any logs and such are required ill try to get them over onto my laptop. Any help is much appreciated.

First let's check the device manager. You can get there by right-clicking on the start button on the lower left corner, and in the menu that comes up select 'Device Manager.'

Your Realtek chip should appear under 'Network adapters.' Is there a yellow exclamation mark next to it? When you right-click the entry for that Realtek chip what does it indicate in the 'status' under Properties? As toubleshooting steps, first re-set the driver. Right-click that Realtek entry in the device manager, and select 'uninstall.' Click OK to whatever boxes come up.

That entry should be gone when this completes. Next look at the top of the Device Manager window and click the icon that says 'scan for hardware changes' which is right under the menu bar (it should appear right under 'help'). This should cause the system to re-start the Realtek network controller.

Close any browser or Steam windows and try again. If you still have problems, the next step is to refresh Windows. IF it still doesn't work after this, your network chip might be faulty. In that case you can disable the onboard network and install a network card like one of these (ask for help with that if you get to this point and need to know how to do this).

As for your troubleshoot methods ill give them a go and get back to you on the results, thanks for the reply. First let's check the device manager.

I was having a problem like this after installing a fresh windows7 os, but when i ran the internet diagnostic it said that nothing was wrong, but the ethernet logo in the bottom right of my screen had the yellow triangle indicating that there was some sort of network issue. Luckily i could run the realtek ethernet driver setup and repair it, to fix the problem. BUT as soon as i reboot my pc, the driver was messed up again. So now i have completely removed the driver and reinstalled it, which seems to have fixed the issue, though i haven't rebooted my pc yet.

Hope this can be of some help. Just rebooted my pc and the issue still persists. Super easy fix, not as hard as you think.

I recommend doing two things simultaneously as I did, but either one of them (or both) was the correct fix. I just did them at the same time. Start, all programs, accessories, system tools, disk clean up, (c) drive for me, the main drive i guess, i'm not a computer wiz by all means so this should give you even more hope. I just clicked temp files, recycling bin, stuff that seemed to junk up memory unnecessarily, but I did leave system error logs alone just in case to check report 2.

I went to control panel, programs, and UNINSTALL THE LATEST JAVA UPDATE, I did recall it was after updating this java one night I couldn't go online the next time (a night or two after) That's it! I rebooted and VOILA! No joke, I have internet connection again! FYE: yes I tried system restore, replugging both ethernet connection and power cord and a couple other things I read online.

BUT THIS WORKS! Apparently there was a corrupt file which I deleted during disk clean up or just uninstalled a bad Java Update which turned off/ disrupted communication from my comp and its device drivers. Anyways, give it a try!
