To be fair, some wireless adapters (not onboard) can be finicky buggers too..
After 5 minutes:
- Current measured interrupt to process latency (μs) - Mostly between 7 and 12
- Highest measured interrupt to process latency (μs) - 151
- Highest reported ISR routine execution time (μs) - 0.0 (Most odd!!)
- Highest reported DPC routine execution time (μs) - 51 (classpnp.sys)
Still got got my money on that flipping network adapter!!
After 5 minutes:
- Current measured interrupt to process latency (μs) - Mostly between 5 and 12
- Highest measured interrupt to process latency (μs) - 54
- Highest reported ISR routine execution time (μs) - 0.0 (Most odd again!!)
- Highest reported DPC routine execution time (μs) - 91 (classpnp.sys)
After 5 minutes:
- Current measured interrupt to process latency (μs) - Mostly between 8 and 14
- Highest measured interrupt to process latency (μs) - 453
- Highest reported ISR routine execution time (μs) - 7 (wdf01000.sys)
- Highest reported DPC routine execution time (μs) - 192 (tcpip.sys)
So whilst the second stat isn't *as* high as with the Powerline, it's still fairly significant, and the fourth stat is actually higher.
Thunderbird running, a Youtube 720p60 Dark Souls stream running in Firefox. Speedtest running in another tab.
Plugged into Powerline and running Speedtest at the same time as email and Youtube, I am seeing the current interrupt to process erratically jump from 8, 15, 20... all the way up to 145, 160.
Plugged into the router directly and doing the same thing I am seeing pretty much the exact same behaviour. And given it happens on Windows as well as OSX, and given it happened with my old Netgear WNCE adapter.. I am inclined to believe it's the motherboard networking implementation causing this.
What I can't explain is why I got it with the old 2600 setup. Because the network vendors are different between each motherboard. Previous one was Realtek, this one is Intel. Does that matter do you think? Maybe it's a Gigabyte BIOS thing?
I think you are right - there's something fishy in your networking setup somewhere.
The only other thought I had was there's something fishy in your router setup which is causing the issue..
Can you reset the router back to default settings at all?
Yes, it's an onboard network controller.
Either that, or you've replaced arsey bits with other arsey bits.
You've turned into one of those support issues that used to drive me to distraction when I was a support engineer
Check this shit out though...
Before activating my network adapter:

And that pattern continues even when directly plugged into the router. So something on this motherboard is actin' the foo' !!!
I reckon my order of play is this:
- Buy a cheapo PCI or PCI-E network card. Replace the onboard one with it and disable the onboard one in the BIOS.
- If that doesn't work, replace the whole motherboard with a different manufacturer and try and get one that has a proven track record with Hackintoshes.
- Buy a used 2011-2013 quad core i7 Mac Mini off ebay for around £600 and just bite the fucking bullet!
Thanks for your help on this, really appreciate it!!
The PCI-E NW adapters are fine usually unless you buy odd no-name off of eBay. Stick to a PC parts place and buy a standard job. I'd be tempted to get a PCI-E wireless card as it's just the same to be honest.
Check your manual as well - there might be a jumper on the mainboard to disable the onboard nw adapter (sometimes is, sometimes isn't)
I also agree - NW card def. worth the money. Mainboard? not sure - if you can get a cheapie with good Hackintosh history then go for it.
I think by this point I'd be getting my gums round that .45 cal Mac Mini
I do get occasional dropouts using Powerline between my router and IP TV & Sky Box - both report intermittent internet connection fails. Haven't been able to work out if it's BT or the Powerline adapters - but no such service drops on the kit that's wired to the router via cheapo Gb switches
