I am desperately trying to connect my HP DV6-2191sl laptop to my brand new Archer D2 modem-router. It looks like there is a severe incompatibility between my Realtek RTL8168D ethernet adapter and the modem-router. After many days spent reinstalling any possible driver (from the latest to the very old one found at the HP website), I found out that the only way to make the laptop see the network is to change the duplex speed to 10mbps FULL/HALF DUPLEX - otherwise, the adapter will say "Network cable unplugged". The very same happens on Linux.

I obviously connected my pc to my old router, and it instantly saw the network and gets at least 100mbps through auto-negotiation.

Is there anything I could do to solve this? Have I really bought just the only device not compatible with my pc?! I am still browsing through wi-fi, which works just fine, but the network speed decreased consistently.

From your description,it should be a compatibility issue.
Usually device and connect to the LAN port and connect to the Internet.
I think the only choice is to use wireless network.
