Shouldn't. I have a W10 netbook, though I'm not familiar with it, it
had Debian installed within a week. Boot (from definitely off) is less
than thirty seconds. Booting should not be held up by network issues.

Open up the properties of the Ethernet adaptor, select TCP/IPv4,
Properties, then untick the automatic options. You should be able to
enter values in the address, mask and gateway boxes, and specify DNS
servers below. It shouldn't need a reboot.
