Battlefield 6 Kills Your Ethernet? Realtek Adapter Solution

If your Ethernet cuts out a few minutes into Battlefield 6 — even though your router and other devices are fine — you’re not alone. This is a known issue with Realtek PCIe network adapters under high network load. Here’s the complete fix.

Symptoms:

Ethernet disconnects after 5–10 minutes of gameplay

Router lights stay normal

Other devices stay online

Reinstalling the game or Windows doesn’t help

Step 1: Update Your Realtek Driver

1. Go to the Realtek official site → PCIe GBE Family Controller page.

2. Download: Win10/Win11 Auto Installation Program (NDIS) — version 10.77 or newer.

3. Run the installer.

4. Restart your PC after installation.

Step 2: Disable Power-Saving & Offload Features

Open Device Manager → Network adapters → right-click your Realtek PCIe GbE adapter → Properties → Advanced tab.

Disable the following options if available:

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

Green Ethernet

Interrupt Moderation

Large Send Offload (IPv4 & IPv6)

TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4 & IPv6)

UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4 & IPv6)

Open PowerShell:

1. Open Windows Terminal as Administrator.

2. Type: Get-NetAdapter

(note your Ethernet adapter name, e.g. “Ethernet 2”)

3. Then run:

Disable-NetAdapterRss -Name "Ethernet 2"

Disable-NetAdapterLso -Name "Ethernet 2"

Step 3: Restart & Test

Restart your PC, launch Battlefield 6, and play for 10–15 minutes. Your Ethernet should stay stable now.

Step 4: Optional Tweaks

In Device Manager → Advanced, set Speed & Duplex to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex.

In Control Panel → Power Options, select High Performance mode.

Result:

No more Ethernet disconnects during Battlefield 6. The issue comes from Realtek’s RSS/LSO offload features conflicting with the game’s heavy UDP traffic.

Note: this text might sound weird cuz i copy pasted it straight from chatgpt

But it worked for me
