OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements : Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth controller.

TIPS :

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

Where do we find the firmware updates for Intel Lan? I mean the Asus support page for XII Formula clearly says:

"Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Driver V1.0.1.4 for Windows 10 64-bit.
Before installing Intel I225-V driver v.1.0.1.4, please ensure that Intel I225-V firmware should be updated to v.1.45 via firmware update tool. After finishing necessary firmware update, please shut down and unplug the power cord then reboot the system normally. For more information, please refer to the firmware update guide."

Yet no where in the downloads and the bios/FW tab does it say anything about lan fw. I ran intel's driver and support assistant but it says everything is up to date.

I also for the life of me can't seem to find where it states what FW my Intel Lan has currently. With all the talk of the i225 causing so many issues I'm currently using the Marvel Lan after swapping from XI Formula/9900K to XII Formula/10900K so it's a fresh upgrade.

So I guess the FW update was with the download for 1.0.1.4. I ran it shut down killed the psu power waited and then installed the FW. I have a 200meg connection that generally I get 220-230 out of. Well less then 3meg is what I'm getting using speed test and a 30ping when normal is low teens. Rebooted and retested 13 ping and 30meg down. So rolled back to what windows installed which is 1.0.2.6 instead of the 1.0.2.8 on the first post and going to give it a whirl.

That looks like the trick. My XII Formula doesn't like the 1.0.2.8 i225 drivers on the first post but likes 1.0.2.6 that windows slaps in. Go figure.

Nope that didn't do the trick. Just ran it again 29 ping 2.23 down. WTF. I'm about to pull the plug on the Intel nic and go with the Marvel. This is a joke not to mention a PITA!

Well what a crap shoot this has been have random 5% packet loss and inconsistent speedtest runs on Intel. Switch to Marvel and lord 30-35% packet loss. Don't really want to use wifi considering this is my game rig and the router is in the same room so would much rather be hard wired but this is pathetic.

[scgt1]

Well got it all sorted I think finally. Was getting about 5% random packet loss with Intel and 30-35% with Marvel. Got the newest drivers installed for both finally and no packet loss although Marvel is kinda all over the place with 100 as the test.
