#HOW TO FIX REALTEK PCIE GBE FAMILY CONTROLLER DRIVER DRIVERS#
It's just that whereas an internal Ethernet controller/card would be embedded onto the motherboard or installed as an actual expansion card (in desktops/servers) and would therefore communicate with the system over PCIe, a USB Ethernet adapter connects its controller to the system over USB (to a USB controller that then connects over PCIe).Īre you sure that the Realtek driver is the correct one for that particular adapter? That driver is listed on the XPS 15's Drivers page because that's the correct driver for Dell docks that can be used with the XPS 15 - because that's the controller that Dell chose to embed into those docks. USB Ethernet adapters work by having an Ethernet controller chip built into the adapter itself. If the system had such a controller, it would also have an Ethernet connector on the system itself. Thanks in there is no Ethernet controller or "card" embedded into the XPS 15's motherboard, because as you say the system has no built-in Ethernet.

Can anyone confirm this? Is this part replaceable? Or would I have to replace the full motherboard if that is the issue? I believe the network card for the XPS 15 is integrated on the motherboard. My theory is that it's an issue with the network card. Does anyone know how the hardware handles a network connection via the USB ports? I know there's a WLAN adapter in the XPS which can easily be replaced, but I don't suppose that that one has anything to do with my ethernet connection issues. This leads me to believe there is a hardware issue in my laptop. This was why I bought the USB3.0 ethernet adapter. * I used to have a USB-C ethernet adapter, but when I was using that device my XPS very often failed to connect to the ethernet at all. * The issue persists when I use either USB port on my laptop. The connection behaves the same way on both operating systems. * My device is dual booted with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04. * I have tried updating/reinstalling the network adapter driver (Realtek USB GbE Family Controller). * I've tested my ethernet+adapter setup on two other devices and it works fine on those. There are several things I've noticed, and some things I tried to troubleshoot this issue:
Now, however, the connection keeps dropping for a few seconds once every few minutes.
The XPS doesn't have an ethernet port, but I've got a USB3.0 gigabit ethernet adapter because ethernet is more reliable than WiFi where I live.
I'm currently having some issues with my ethernet network connection on my Dell XPS 15 9570.
