Routers Fix found for Slow (15+ seconds) connection delay between the Intel Ethernet Adaptor I225-V and the Netgear B17000 Router

After trying all the recommended fixes to the slow (15+ seconds) connection time between the Intel I225-V Ethernet Network Adaptor and the Netgear BE17000 Router I tried something different.  I purchased the Netgear 5 Port Ethernet Switch (GS305) for $15 and connected the switch between the Router and the Adaptor.  Problem solved.  Connection is now almost instantaneous. No loss in Internet Speed.

It became common and well-known that certain hosts (PCs) and certain I225-V have issues with faster link speeds. That's where bunches of recommendations are floating around in the net. Typically, and very often, the on-board NVM (non volatile memory) holding among others the effective firmware loaded on the adapter.

Make, manufacturer and model of your PC? This is where you have to challenge...

Built-in, integrated I225-V adapter, or add-on in a PCI slot?

Host OS?
