I updated to the version you mentioned but no success. Gigabit works on Android but not on CoreElec.
I used the same microds with the old coreelec. Maybe I should write another card with new img ?
Thank you !
PS: I opened the box. It appears that is a new revision becaus is not similar with what I found on internet.
Still no success. Any idea ?
Thank you !
I cannot install this ROM.( [ROM] XTMOD-ATV X96 Max - GT1 and some U211 devices)
It get’s error at 7 percent, “bootstage error”. Maybe is because I have a new revision of board. Q5X2_LP3 19215 . The only images that work are with ‘311R_p’.
So, everybody that has this X96 MAX with new revision PCB has this problem ? Or am I the only one ?
Thank you !
I guess I am the only one :(. is there any possibility this could be fixed , I don;t know…maybe in another android update in the future ? or the problem is in the CoreElec ?
Pinzarufilip you are not alone, I have the same box X96Max 4/32 with Android 9.0 firmware V311R_P_20190926-1519, I got the same problem – gigabit LAN doesn’t work under CoreElec 9.2.0 latest nightly build. Its 5Ghz WiFi is good enough for me, I didn’t bother to test its wired LAN speed until I saw this post. I believe it’s a software problem which can be solved later, we just have to wait a while.

The same issue with Vontar X96 Max 905X2 4/64.
Workaround , but just 100M:
CoreELEC:~ # ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
Then ping is working and hope streaming movies as well (i am not at home right now)
We must wait until someone fix the issue inside the driver:
CoreELEC:~ # ethtool -i eth0
driver: st_gmac
version: Jan_2016
We added a patch that should fix 1Gbit Ethernet issues, try the latest nightly.
Tested now, still not working :(. Exactly the same issue. Internet icon appears but it’s not working at all.
Streaming from my home dlna server is okay with this workaround :
CoreELEC:~ # ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
60G 4k HDR movie is about traffic 85Mb/s, well still enough for 100Mb 
@Alex_77 , Do you have the latest android version on your V311R_P x96 max device (V311R_P_20190926-1519)?
I am using the version : [X96Max_V311R_P_20190722-2021(8822)
But on my box it does not work at all the LAN. the internet icon appears but the internet is not working at all.
@TheCoolest , any other updates regarding 1Gbit ethernet issue ? OR should I install the latest android version and then remake a SD with CoreElec and see if it works?
Thank you !
No news, we’ve done what we could.
Have you seen my link above, which points to some undocumented stuff about RTL8211F? Was there any useful info to be tried?
@Pinzarufilip Yes i have the latest stable one V311R_P_20190926-1519
before run the ethtool command i get this on eth :
ifconfig

@ Pinzarufilip Today i updated to 9.2.1 version , gigeth driver problem still persists there. And i didn’t see any coreelec bluetooth interface while scanning on my phone, in the core settings menu it shows that bleutooth is disabled and there isn’t any option to enable it.
Is there any fix for this? I have just bought a X96 Max and experienced the exact same issue. When connecting to Ethernet, it shows IP as 169.254… and can’t connect to internet.
Hi @TheCoolest. Have you had found any ways to fix this bug? I and some users here are still having this problem… I am willing to help you provide any info possible to fix this. Hope that you or some team member will have the time to take a look at this. I will greatly appreciate for sure!
