Thanks!

Did a hard reset - didn't help. The Ethernet is part of the mobo (ASUS P8Z77-Pro), I don't have a separate NIC.

Router- AC3200 with ASUS firmware. Internet ISP - Comcast. Network adapter - Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. Several weeks ago I tried to enable ivp6 on my router settings. As soon as I tried, I lost internet and the router website froze. I turned off the computer, rebooted, no...
