M2 Pro Ethernet issues?

[MacProFCP]

Did you try with an adapter dongle?

Torat would rule out a hardware issue with the RJ45 port.

Yeah, no. You're absolutely right. Switching over to my USB-C ethernet adapter made the lag go away immediately... Even the "post-reinstall improvement" I was perceiving was NOTHING compared to my other adapter...

Damn. I have just been waiting so, SO long for these machines! I really don't want to have to send TWO back to Apple & hope that I get luckier the second time around, but what can you do? 😭

I'm returning the pro for a replacement, I'm not dealing with this anymore

hopefully the new one doesn't have this problem

So, folks -- I'm fairly sure this is a software issue.

If you go to settings->network-><ethernet interface>->details->hardware and then change "Configure" to "manual", THEN change *ANY* setting (I turned off ABV/EAP mode), save/exit and then go in and change it back; the packet loss seems to stop. (I also tried changing duplex to 'flow control' and back again, just incase it helps anyone)

I'm guessing the auto configuration has gotten something wrong and persisted it somehow. Try it out!

66 packets transmitted, 66 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

Let’s hope this gets solved with a simple update on Apple’s end.

Happy to be of assistance 😎

I can confirm that cuberpunks post does indeed does fix the issue!

I have a BTO Pro Mini w/1TB drive that isn’t arriving till the middle of Feb. This will be the first thing I check out 😬. Props to Cyberpunk for the troubleshooting 👍🏻

This is not working for me
Do you leave it in manual after you change the setting back ?

Edit
Ok leaving it in manual seems to fix the problem
Is MTU suppose to be at 1500 ? As default

 

[Saberon2014]

yes you leave in manual

 

[Che Castro]

yes you leave in manual

What MTU setting is the default number ?

 

[cyberpunk_ber]

What MTU setting is the default number ?

1500 is standard for LANs

I don’t have to return it , thank you @cyberpunk_ber

I can't believe that a macOS reinstall didn't fix this problem.

Very odd.

This means that the bug exists even in the fresh install.

If it’s a driver issue you can reinstall the OS as many times as you like and it won’t fix the issue, it will require a fix from Apple by way of a patch with a new driver.

Hey everyone, got my base spec M2 Pro Mac mini yesterday, at my local Apple Store.

This morning I tested my unit, curious to see if I encountered the problem described here, but I am happy to say that my 1gb Ethernet connector is working perfectly fine. I ran various packet loss tests using this and this websites, and I got 0%. Screenshots attached, if it helps.

Don't know if this might be useful, but I live in Italy so my unit is a Europe market one.

Just curious, did you set up as a new mac or restore from backup?

Restore from backup. I had a 24" M1 iMac that I returned few weeks ago, so I restored that backup on Mac mini first boot.

That seems to fix the problem, there’s another guy on Reddit who restored from backup and never experienced this. But glad to hear your new Mac is working

 

[magphotos]

Nice to know. Hope your problem is solved!

 

[Che Castro]

I’m using apple AirPort Extreme and I did not restore from backup when I got the m2 pro ,fresh install
And I have the problem
Well use to

 

[M1 Processor]

I can confirm that this also fixed my connection so it seems to be a software issue.

 

[Che Castro]

I wonder if this is Ventura 13.2 problem or a 13. Whatever the firmware the m2 pro comes with

 

[anshuvorty]

You need to upgrade that router. Not secure at all by today's standards.
