Any plans to fix the driver issues with Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controllers?
Looks like there are lots of people having issue with the Realtek GBE drivers.
The package provides the installation files for Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller LAN Driver version 10.1.505.2015. About Ethernet Driver: Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component. However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a.
Just found the post below and it fix my issue:
If you have unsupported VPN software installed on Windows 8.1 when you upgrade, you may encounter this problem.We are currently working on a fix.To check if this is causing your networking issue:
Right-click the Start button and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Type the following command in the window and hit Enter:
netcfg –s n
This will show a list of networking protocols, drivers and services.Check to see if DNI_DNE is listed in the output. If it is, this problem applies to you.
If DNI_DNE is present, in the same command prompt window, type the following commands to resolve the problem:
reg delete HKCRCLSID{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f
netcfg -v -u dni_dneIf you receive the error 0x80004002 after running this fix, either the register key was not deleted or the key that needs to be deleted is slightly different.Open Regedit and navigate to the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3}.Delete it if it still exists.If it is not present and you still received this error, please reply to the post.We may contact you to help identify the cause of this error.
If this resolves your issue, in order to use your VPN, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the VPN software to obtain a version that is supported for use on Windows 10.
Please be aware that there are many possible reasons that a wireless network might not be available.If this does not resolve your issue, make sure you’ve tried the general troubleshooting steps provide in Why can't I get online?

- Realtek NIC running at 100Mb/s rather than 1000Mb/s 4 answers
I have an asus Gigabit Router and a gigabit NIC (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) witch is running at 100Mbps rather than 1000Mbps (1.0 Gbps).When I use an old laptop on the same Ethernet cable(cat6) its running succesfully at 1.0 Gbps.Means there's no problem with the setup, router nor the cable.I tried changing the speed & duplex from auto negotiation to 1.0 Gbps but its still running at 100.0 Mbps.I also have the latest driver update for my NIC.
I think im missing something but what ?What could be the problem ?

I have solved the issue by upgrading the driver. The Realtek driver downloads can be found here.
There are several different Realtek chips which identify themselves as Realtek PCIe Family Controller. Although many of these chips support 1 Gigabit ethernet speeds, some do not, and there are new laptops sold, even now in 2017, with only a 100MB/s Realtek chip. Unfortunately, the HP Envy machine I got at Costco is one of them.
To check if your hardware supports 1 GB/s, go to the properties page for the ethernet adapter and configure the driver. On the advanced tab, select speed & duplex (you might have to scroll down in the list). Check the dropdown on the right to see if 1000 Mbps is listed.

If the chipset in the laptop does not support Gigabit ethernet, but has a USB 3.0 port, then a workaround is to use a (e.g.) USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
Can you verify the CAT6 cable used (are you sure it's not CAT5/CAT5E?) is wired the same each end (check the colours on the underside of the RJ45's). Basically a CAT6 cable is a CAT5 cable with additional shielding.
If you had one end wired as T568A and the other as T568B then what you have is actually a 'cross-over' cable and not a 'patch cable'/'drop lead'. Originally intended for connecting 2 PC's together without a hub/switch the mistake is easy to make when wiring patch cables/wall sockets.
