I have a Z170 Extreme7+ which has 2 LAN ports. One is an Intel I219V and the other is an Intel I211AT. What are the differences (non technically) and which one should I connect to for single port use in online gaming. I'm using Windows 10 64 bit. Thanks

They both should be good for every task.

The I219V is newer, so when installing the OS, W10 may not have the driver integrated,
as it has for the I211AT.
