may I ask you for Moded Bios for Maximus Impact VIII with the ability to have Wake-On-Lan to work on this motherboard?
Try: Advanced » APM » Power On By PCI-E/PCI

Also curious here about a modded M8I 1701 BIOS.

thats not it.

When you enter the BIOS and check Iintel network inside the bios you will find that
WOL box shows that its unvailible

so it says N/A for the Wake-On-Lan box.
Even if i set the settings in windows device manager it wont work

Try to reflash the original (not modded) one. It could be the MEI firmware or the LAN option ROM.

No it didn't work. The MEI Firmware stays always the same new one. Is there any way to downgrade it? :(

Try the attached file, I've added flasher, original Asus MEI Firmware and .bat files to force flasher.

If it does not downgrade, the only thing you can do is to use an external SPI Flash Eeprom programmer for reflash the whole bios image.

Tried it, it gave me this:

Try this alternative FPT flasher.

If it reports Error 26, then you've the Descriptor Region locked and you can downgrade only using an external EEprom SPI Flash programmer.

Hey @Sylar76! Wanted to say thank you for modded BIOS for M8H! Just flashed without any issues.
Do i actually have to clear CMOS after flashing modded BIOS?

Intel Core i7 6700K, ASUS Maximus VIII Hero, ASUS GTX 980 Strix OC, Kingston 2x8GB HX426C15FBK2/16, Corsair Force MP510 960GB, Toshiba X300 4TB, XFX Pro 750W, Win 10 Pro x64

Okay now it said:

Error 451: The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area. To enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region. FPT Operation Failed.

Doesn't look good.

It is reporting what I've said before, your Descriptor Region is locked. It's very strange that you're experiencing such issues as other users trying the same MEI firmware on the same chipset, have no problems at all.
I think you should better try to do a Clear CMOS and trying to set up bios settings and boot into Windows and see if your LAN works.

Well i've done it multiple times already while trying 4 different BIOS versions. I also tried removing and reinstalling the drivers. Does this mean my ethernet is bricked completely?

No you haven't bricked anything. Maybe there is some incompatibility between the MEI Firmware and the LAN, but if it worked before flashing the modded bios, it can't suddenly stop
to work.

You could try to boot a linux live distro, like Parted Magic and see if the LAN works. If it does, then it's a Windows issue strictly related to the MEI firmware.

Okay I tried to boot Lubuntu live usb and it still didn't work. I tried wifi usb dongle just in case and that one worked so the problem is indeed in the ethernet controller and not in the linux distro.

So it's not working on Windows nor Linux.
