Ethernet Controller Driver Windows 10 Asus

[Helen Drewski]

Ijust built my own Windows 10 computer with a Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard from Asus , but when I installed windows and connected an ethernet cord to the router, I'm not connected even though it works when attached to a different device. I know my motherboard came with a CD for drivers, which I suspect may need to be installed for the ethernet to work (the ethernet port from the mobo probably needs the software driver to run, right?) But I don't have an optical drive, so I'm trying to download the drivers to a usb on a separate computer. The problem is that there's over 90 different ASUS drivers for that motherboard, and I have no idea which of them I need to use or not. I do not yet have a wi-fi card or connection. How can I get connected to the internet?

If it is this motherboard then the NIC is an Intel I219V. So finding the driver should be easy. And once it has a working Ethernet connection it might automatically update most other drivers on its own.

Since the hardware is connected but the drivers are missing you just need the driversAlso there are so many of them how to know which is the one that is a signed driver for your Lan connection right? Here's how:

Open the run window using Win + R key.Type devmgmt.msc. it will open Device manager.Now look for "Network Adapters" there.Select your Lan Connection Adapter something like " xyz ethernet adapter"Now right click on it and select "Properties".After the go to "Details" tab.Then next you need to select the "Property" value as " Hardware Ids" in the drop down.Once done you will see the "Value" box below in the same window.It will have 4-5 or less values in rows. Select the top one.It will be something like : "PCI\VEN_15AD&DEV_07B0&SUBSYS_07B015AD&REV_01"Copy this and on a different laptop search for this value on google.It will give you the results for drivers download for this.Download the driver on the laptop.Save it in a bootable drive or hard disk. Connect the hard disk to your pc.Again go to Device Manager and click on Update Driver for the Lan Adapter.Select the option as Let me choose.Then select choose from a location on the PC.Go to the folder where the driver is saved in your hard disk.Load the driver and finish the install.Reboot the PC once done.And you are good to go.Now the PC will identify the LAN connection as trhe drivers are installed.Let me know if this helps.. :-)

I tried updating everything, even setting the negotiation manually to 1GB and 2.5GB with full duplex, still nothing, won't go up faster than 100mb/s, I'm using a cat6e cable so that's not the issue, my other computers on the same LAN are at 600mb/s and even with the wi-fi on any phone I can get up to 250mb/s so it's clearly an issue with the Ethernet controller/HW.

Could you please provide me any solution to this issue?

I would hate to have to dissasemble my build and have to send back the motherboard just for the Ethernet card, as I do not plan to buy an extra PCIe Ethernet card just because I got some faulty Hardware...

To set your expectations, the end result may lead to us referring you to the Asus support team since the built-in ethernet controller on your system, has been customized by Asus: firmware customized, driver customized.

1. Based on the error that you received, you could be limited by the port on the router. Given that one computer via LAN is working okay, have you tried connecting it on the same port where that computer is connected to? Please also try the cable used on that machine if possible.

We need to close this thread since we have not gotten a response from you: maybe because you are busy or preoccupied at the moment. We know that this is important for you to get it resolved and it is also equally important for us to give you the right solution; as much as we would like to assist you, we need to close it to attend to other customers. We hope for your consideration and understanding on this one.

I can pickup where Nil0r left off as I just purchased an ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming motherboard with the I225-V network card and I'm experiencing the same issues. I have tried the previous suggestions and still yielded the same results of 100Mbps being my throughput cap. Please advice.

Can anyone tell me WTF Intel is still selling garbage broken network adapters?? This problem has been going on for over a year and still after a myriad of issues this trash product is still being sold!!??? I just bought a new Asus TUF Z690 and now I experience trash download speeds, speedtest is fine but downloads from Nvidia or other places my X570 board Asus Hero board had ZERO issues this garbage network adapter downloads from 2mbyte to maybe10 MAX. Some downloads are fine others are not. THIS IS A TRASH PRODUCT since it's a problem that has been existing for a very long time, why are you keep selling customers trash??

Hi, MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI motherboard user here...

Same problem occurs on my brand new motherboard too. I've build 12900K and DDR5 system for office but I can't even connect office's LAN network... Capping adapter's speed to 100mbps Full Duplex from PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility with latest driver (1.0.2.14) is working but this speed is literally from 15 years early

Intel says ethernet controller can handle 2.5 Gbps but in realty we are getting 0.1 Gbps; it is just funny.

This problem has existed since the internet controller was released, and since it appears on different motherboards from different manufacturers with different chipsets, different configurations of computers connected to different routers with different cables, there must be a problem with the internet controller itself. Since different drivers haven't solved the problem for years, maybe there is a physical problem.

I managed to solve my problem by inserting an extra unnecessary switch. So, remembering that the computer was in an office environment, I first connected the LAN cable coming from the computer to an unnecessary switch to which no other device was connected, then to the general switch of the office, and then to the modem.

At first the problem was not solved, but after unplugging it again, we have been able to get full speed without any problems for 2 years. I have no idea why it solved the problem, but you know, if it works, it's not stupid.

I'm sure there's something wrong with this controller itself, but for some reason, it's surprising that the controller, which is so widely used on so many motherboards, doesn't receive proper support from Intel.

Have a nice life, man! cya.

I did run into this issue after installing the latest drivers, and suddenly I had max 100 Mb/s speeds, I fixed it by completely uninstalling the device and it's drivers (after uninstalling and restarting pc it worked automatically), however I installed drivers again but now not the latest one but second to latest and for now I don't see the issue in this driver. I did that because before all that I had a problem when from time to time I was having DNS errors that forced me to restart my network card to even load any website, and it stopped after downloading latest drivers, but this issue appeared hopefully it's also fixed with drivers I installed now and everything will work as should from beginning.

Hey! My Asus laptop X553M is running on windows 10! I powered it up today and it won't show any available wifi networks, just a symbol for an Ethernet cable with a red "x" on the bottom of the screen. I've tried everything from resetting my network connections but nothing is working and I need the wifi up and running as soon as possible! Unsure if I should buy a wireless adapter to fix this problem (even though connecting to wifi has worked for over a year on this laptop). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

And searched the drivers for my laptop. Found them via PC, downloaded them on external disk, transferred them on laptop and tried to install them but most of them cannot complete the installation because lack of the internet connection. Lol. :) I will try some from your link. Btw thx. for that link and for the reply. ;)

mikaylacallery , Make sure you are not in airplane mode, which disables WiFi. You could also try system restore to an earlier date when WiFi was working correctly to see if that helps. Another thing to try, go into settings,device manager, click network adapters, then click on the adapter that is your wireless WiFi. uninstall driver. Then right click on network adapters and click search for network adapters, it should automatically install it back. Try WiFi settings and connect. This is only one of the solutions from link below that you can try to fix your issue. 1st 2nd link troubleshooting WiFi, 3rd link is your manual. Good luck.

Scroll down to WiFi and select the one appropriate to your particular adapter. Take notice of the "Notes:" near the top of the page regarding how to install the drivers and also the notes regarding the WLAN drivers.
