      Not the greatest, but it's hard to pull the info I suppose without ssh access or similar from another comp. I suppose I could maybe pull that on to a USB and copy it over here.

        The logout  issues happen when I try to restore a configuration from another machine. Once I hit restore and go to change the interfaces so they match and the vlans etc.. every single time I click on anything it goes back to the login screen and I don't have to even type anything and it'll go back in to the gui. I can't get any changes to stick though, so I can't struggle my way past that problem.

          I've gotten the router fully functional and in the system with the NIC. I was able to restore all configurations from a different router on to this one with the newer updated software/version. I'm still at a loss on why the on board ports aren't working though.

          Any ideas?

                I assume there was nothing connected at that time? Link state shows down for both re NICs.

                You have hardware offloading enabled which can be an issue with Realtek especially. Make sure it is all disabled in System > Advanced > Networking.

                  Thank! I'll take a look at that option.

                  I have nothing assigned or hooked up to the realtek ports.

                  I have the router fully operational on the intel ports. That was a breeze for the most part. How could I test the realtek ports with my current setup without having to dump the existing configuration?

                  Could I simply assign a realtek port a LAN and static IP and see if I can connect to the machine that way?

                    TBH forget about the Realtek ports, they will likely cause issues. Best thing is to disable them in the BIOS, if you can.

                      Mmm, that's probably the least hassle course of action.

                      Yes, you can just re-assign an interface to one of them.

                        Sounds good. I'll forget about them and disable them in the bios. I just figured it would be nice to utilize the onboard ones and then have the pcie slot open for future expansion of who knows what or to use pcie NIC as a backup when/if the realtek ones died.
