Description

Intel® Ethernet Controller I225-V connected to NETGEAR* XS724EM losing connection with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and Intel drivers on Windows® 10.

Resolution

This is a PHY compatibility issue between I225-v3 and Netgear switch after updating Netgear firmware to the latest release. Getting a new I225 NVM might help with the problem. Unfortunately, Intel cannot release the NVM update tool to end-users because it must come from the manufacturer after they finish validation and integration. Contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEM) to obtain the needed NVM.
