    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)

    “Receive Side Scaling” (RSS)

     

    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

    If any step doesnt work just skip it

    There are some drivers that dont support some options

    But it worked for me
