First of all, thank you for all the great threads here!
I'm currently facing some issues with my ethernet adapter (described
here) and hoping to seek some clarification, as SE and Discord did not bring much more clarification. I did get a singular reply solely regarding the question of whether all Maximus X Hero Wifi-AC boards come with the same on-board network adapters here:
Discord ConvoFrom this, I inferred that
all Maximus X Hero Wifi-AC ship with Intel i219-V Ethernet Adapter along with Intel WIfi and BT adapters. A while back, due to an update that broke Miracast functionality, I had read at the time that this was due to Intel pulling the plug on interoperability, and as a result I had replaced the driver with one for "Realtek 8822BE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC", which indeed restored Miracast functionality. Somewhere in-between, the ethernet port stopped working though, and due to various circumstances I didn't notice until much later on, leading to my current quandary of wondering whether or not the loss of function is in some manner caused by the above mentioned change, or a completely unrelated matter.
I've made a presumption that perhaps I might need to change
all my networked adapter drivers (WLAN, ethernet, and BT) to Realteks', but wasn't certain whether or not this was the case, and my searches were inconclusive to my limited understanding. Since your threads consolidate multiple model series together, I also realized I should not just simply assume these are beyond any doubt compatible with my hardware, and thought it prudent to first post and check. As such, I'm here hoping to get some clarification as all my attempts thus far have not remedied the issue and I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with continuing any potentially detrimental actions borne of my poorly informed decision making.
Thanks in advanced for any feedback!
