Network card doesn't turn off after shutdown!

JohnM57

I have a Ser6 Max 6900 mini-pc and even after I shut off the computer, the network card is still active as the lights are still on. This mini-pc has an Intel NIC, but I have another mini-pc the same model and it has a Realtek NIC. The mini-pc with the Realtek NIC shuts off fine, but the Intel NIC stays on for some reason. I don't have WOL enabled so I don't know why the card is still active after shutdown. Thanks for any help I can get!

Hello there,
The network card configurations of Intel and Realtek are different. The indicator light of the Intel network card will light up after shutting down. This is the difference. Moreover, the design of each product is also different, so there will be this difference.
