Wired connections disconnects on high bandwith usage

  • 772

Wired Connection on Ubuntu 18.04 keeps disconnecting every 5 min or also on high bandwith usage. I changed the cable and its still the same problem. When I use the same cable on older laptop it's working well. I found the following syslog:

    If it's not a general network problem, then this might be caused by autonegotation or/and DHCP server issues.

    Try to disable autonegotation with ethtool.

    Keep in mind that this might cut off network depending on your configuration.

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ethtool
ethtool -s eno2 autoneg off

    or

    ethtool -s eno2 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off

    Where 1000 is your NIC speed: 1000 for 1 Gpbs, or 100 for 100 Mbps.

    This can also have something to do with power saving, so you may want to try disabling ACPI: How do I disable ACPI when booting?

  2. In terminal, use the nm-connection-editor, set the "Link negotiation" to "manual/100Mb/full".
