Add in your router's local IP config, and what static IP you attempted on your machine in your 9th bullet. The more details, the more help you'll get.– mfinniCommented Jun 25, 2020 at 17:46

Also please give some more details around "set up the router to accept that static address" - that shouldn't be a necessary step for a network. I'm thinking you may have configured something in the router that you didn't mean to and that's what messing you up, so I think the whole picture will help.– mfinniCommented Jun 25, 2020 at 17:48

Do you see incoming DHCP offers using Wireshark, or do you only see outgoing discovers/requests? (I'm somewhat surprised installing a new PCI NIC didn't help, since my main guess would have been that your Ethernet chip simply fried itself...) Can you try booting a different OS entirely, e.g. Ubuntu off a flash drive, and see if it works there?– grawity_u1686Commented Jun 26, 2020 at 11:07

I can see outgoing discover requests but no response. I tried booting from a cd into windows pe but still no connection. I also started in safe mode with networking and still couldn't ping the router. I'm also surprised the new nic didn't work as I assumed a dead motherboard adapter when the more obvious fixes didn't work in the first place. Rather disappointed when that didn't work either...– user2834566Commented Jun 26, 2020 at 11:45

First - check the voltage output of the asus router power supply - they tend to be odd voltages - my rt-n66u was 18v, but the power supply failed but the router still worked (badly) on 12v. Second, test or replace all network cables. Do you have a USB ethernet adapter to try?– JohnnyVegasCommented Jun 26, 2020 at 16:50

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
