Many computers continue to send power to the network card during restarts so it never actually powers down. If it's a desktop unplug it from the wall for a few seconds after powering down. My desktop Ethernet connection shows as connected on the router even when turned off. I have to unplug the power before the link light on the router Ethernet port turns off.

     

    If that doesn't work try doing a Network reset from the Network and Internet Settings.
