This issue has been reported in various forums, including Intel's in-house support community, the Microsoft forum, and Asus' official customer service. The problem with the connection breaks when using a socket 1700 mainboard with an Intel Ethernet controller I226-V is usually temporary, lasting only a few seconds and often not noticed by the user. However, these disconnections can be noticeable for applications that require an uninterrupted connection, such as online gaming, video conferencing, clients, remote desktops, and VPN connections. In the Windows Event Viewer, the disconnection is logged accordingly as Event 27 or Event 32 ("Intel Ethernet Controller I226-V, Network link is disconnected").
