I just upgraded my GT Live Motherboard and I am having a real random issue. Sometimes at startup it is not recognizing the Ethernet cable being plugged in. So the game will boot up and the led lights will not be on at all at the motherboard Ethernet connection. So I either have to reboot up to a few times before it will automatically recognize the cable being plugged in or I have to manually unplug the cable and then plug it back in before it will see the connection.  Once connected it works fine and stays connected, this just happens intermittently at boot up. I have changed network cable with same result. I am running a powerline Ethernet adapter, that has remained unchanged for years and worked jut fine with my old motherboard. Never had any issues.

Suggestions???  Does anyone know if a pci network card would work with the nighthawk system and golden tee?

try plugging your powerline into a switch, then into the computer.

computer-----switch----powerlineadapter

has been the only thing I've found that can solve weird connectivity issues like these.

I actually solved the problem by getting rid of the powerline adapters and converting an old router to a wireless bridge, works fine now.
