I'm running a N5105 router based on the same board and have had zero issues for the entire time I've been running it (3-4 mo). I've only been running pfsense so perhaps it's a software issue as I cannot imagine the motherboard implementation would be to blame and the controller itself doesn't appear to be faulty.I have a hard time believing this issue affects all i226-V NICs. ServeTheHome has tested multiple firewall PCs with i226-V and I'm sure they would have noticed dropouts.

Wow I have 1Gbit fibre and I mean proper 1Gbit Up/down fibre that if i wanted to pay fo could be 10Gbit. But my MSI board has a Realtek 2.5 I just kinda said “meh” I don’t see any reason to use it.2.5GbE is useful for a 1G plan. Otherwise you would "only" get around 0.95G of usable bandwidth through a single connection.
My ISP actually delivers 10% more than advertised so I can take advantage of 2.5GbE to get 1.1G (138 MB/s) to my PC.
LOL my current AM4 board is the first one I’ve had that DIDN’T have an Intel NIC…AMD does not run intel nics

I don't think that's what the value in parenthesis means. I think it has something to do with the logical MAC port used.Yours has (3) appended to the name, which means it's a B3 stepping third revision chip, this one technically *should* be a lot better than the second and initial revisions. Are you experiencing a lot of dropouts with Gigabit mode, too?
No, I am using a B3 spinning chip i225-v from an addon card with absolutely no issues. It's literally the WAN port for my entire network. And yes I do have service that goes above a gigabit.Because all these chips are the same. They just print different manufacturer names and model numbers on them. It's the only answer. It's funny how all, yes all 2.5G ethernet chips, have had the same problems to varying degrees since they first became available.

So how comes mine, which is the same version as yours, and an Intel made pcie card with the B3 stepping has these disconnects in the Windows logs? They are not terminal disconnects like my Realtek 2.5G nic, which required a total power off at the wall solution, but they are still happening from time to time (once every 2 or 3 days).No, I am using a B3 spinning chip i225-v from an addon card with absolutely no issues. It's literally the WAN port for my entire network. And yes I do have service that goes above a gigabit.
Furthermore, I think the addon cards do better than any onboard because they dissipate heat better, but that's a separate issue.

I couldn't tell you, maybe your particular card is defective, but the internet consensus seems to be that the b3 stepping is good and my experience matches that. I have no messages from the driver in my event logs.So how comes mine, which is the same version as yours, and an Intel made pcie card with the B3 stepping has these disconnects in the Windows logs? They are not terminal disconnects like my Realtek 2.5G nic, which required a total power off at the wall solution, but they are still happening from time to time (once every 2 or 3 days).
I find it VERY odd that every manufacturer across multiple chip revisions, model changes, years of development, dozens of driver updates etc are all having the exact same problem, with only severity and frequency being the variables. Just Googling this, back when I was having issues years ago with my Realtek nic showed this was a thing, and here we are 3 years later, and even the so called latest chips are having identical issues.
I mean, I could be wrong too but that's what I assumed anyways.Interesting, my single-NIC board always showed (2), and the revision in HWID is REV_02 as well.

Your router would need at least 2.5GbE or dual 1GbE with link aggregation to negotiate a faster than 1G link. Otherwise your 2.5G port would just run at 1G.wouldn’t my Routers 1Gbit port just mitigate that possible gain?

Intel currently only have the I225 and I226 families doing 2.5Gb so you will be one of those affected unfortunately.I beg to differ. I have have an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard. The documentation states the NIC supports 2.5Gb speeds and is from Intel. When when I saw the news about this I looked in the manual but all it says is Intel(R) no model number is listed. Also couldn't find it on the Asus site, just says Intel. So I contacted Asus support, via chat, and asked if they could tell me what it was. Their response was they couldn't find it either and would have to check with engineering and get back to me. It could be that it isn't really an Intel NIC and that the documentation just had Intel as a placeholder in the doc, but right now this Asus/AM5 MB claims to have Intel networking.
The system isn't built yet. All I've done is install the CPU, I'm going to hold off before putting it in the case and setting up the cooler since it might have to go back.
As long as this is not 100% confirmed, that's not really "unfortunate". Having 2 boards with the chip and zero issues, I'm not really sure the article is guaranteed to be correct for all the boards or at all - it might be a certain batch.Intel currently only have the I225 and I226 families doing 2.5Gb so you will be one of those affected unfortunately.

A common misconception is that port bonding comes free of cost. It actually needs HW acceleration or a powerful CPU to work as you'd expect. Otherwise you'd get speeds even lower than 1Gbps.Your router would need at least 2.5GbE or dual 1GbE with link aggregation to negotiate a faster than 1G link. Otherwise your 2.5G port would just run at 1G.
My modem/router (AVM Fritzbox 6660) happened to come with one 2.5GbE port.
