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).

I have an Asus Maximus XII Extreme w/ an Intel I225-V REV 2 and wanted to share an observation that might help people experiencing link issues or packet loss.

After I updated the the firmware to V1.45, I updated to the 1.0.1.4 driver and I wasn't having any issues.

Recently, I noticed the 1.0.1.8 driver was released so I updated my driver and started seeing around 5% packet loss.

The difference between 1.0.1.4 and 1.0.1.8 is the older driver did not auto-negotiate EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) and was disabled, whereas 1.0.1.8 did auto-negotiate EEE and was enabled. When I disabled EEE with the 1.0.1.8 driver, my packet loss disappeared.

TL; DR - If you're having connectivity issues with the I225-V, it may be worth trying to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet.

Yes, many people have that problem, internet connection drops & have packet loss and slow Up/Download speeds. Its the silicon and Intel cant do much about it. They say the fix works 100% & its fixed in the next revisions of the silicon but there are people with them that still have the same problems. Only thing that works but its not 100% fix is to flash NVM to 1.45 (even if you already did it). Im posting the fix and the thread on Intel Forum. I will make a separate post because this is important.

Interesting, and thanks for sharing.

Does anybody know if these issues might happen with I21x-V (1.0GbE) Intel ethernet adapters as well? I have a Ethernet Intel® I219-V 1.0Gbit Lan adapter, and some times I encounter internet connection drops & have packet loss and slow Up/Download speeds.
I have recently passed to fiber cable (have changed home internet connection, but provider is the same), and as far that I have learn only my pc is affected. Nwither my 2 other laptops I have in the house and my smartphones have any of that.

Thanks for the help.
