Hi Everyone,

I have a Belkin USB-c to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (F2CU040btBLK) which works well most part of the time but having only one USB-C port, along the day I need to disconnect the Ethernet cable and connect the power cable back (there is no WiFi available for the corporate network) and 50% of the times it come back and work well, other 50% of the time it just don't detect the dongle/cable and I need to restart the MB to get it to work. Does anyone else experience the same problem? Is there any way to "restart" the network stack instead of restarting the computer? I tried to deactivate and reactivate the device using the network panel but didn't work either.

Thanks,

Sounds like you might try and find a newer driver?

My strategy for this is to use the OEM/Apple USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter in combination with the USB-C Multiport AV adapter.
