OpenDevice Manager and find the category you need from the list (this could be under something like "Internet" or "LAN"). Right-click on the list item for your ethernet and select Update Driver from the drop-down menu. If Windows is unable to find a driver update, check the ethernet card manufacturer's website to see if they have a new driver you can manually download.

Download the necessary drivers using a computer that does have an internet connection, then transfer the driver files to another form of media you can use on the disconnected computer (for example, a USB flash drive). Next, connect the media with the drivers to the disconnected computer and copy them over. Then double-click the driver files that have been copied to your disconnected computer to begin the installation process, and follow the prompts.


However, nothing worked. Btw, it wasn't just a DNS issue, but some Routing issue (ping 8.8.8.8 worked neither). Then I tried to connect via NordVPN and, well, my PC was online again O.o. I'd have never thought that this would work.


Hi, this update is needed especially because of security, I do not think that it was a problem with the driver - often the system needs some time for a full reinstallation and you also have to be patient without acting hastily.

Sometimes it is enough to restart twice .


Today we are the 22nd of June 2022.

I have the same problem.

Not sure that what I read here can help because when an update "destroyed" my Ethernet Adapter, it just means, in my case, that we can use the WiFi but not the Ethernet, and in my case, wired PCs are more important than WiFi.



So if there would be somebody less calm and judgmental about how a person's freaking when this happen could find us a solution, that works, because I waited and rebooted many times and the problem started right after an update, 3 weeks ago. I didn't have time to take care of it so, yes, I took the time and stayed calm but still today I only see the 3 curved lines and a dot and this prevent me from using my 1Gbps speed for transfer.



This morning I went to Device Manager, un installed all network adapter and rebooted. They all came back in a minute and I still have the same problem.



My cable is connected directly to the PC, I can see the lights lit at the switch and behind the cable connector on the PC, the Network Settings, Ethernet says UnIdentified network (No Internet). The second Ethernet 3 is not connected.



I'll keep digging but anytime you know about a solution, it'll be appreciated to get a reply.



Thanks guys.






So, I had to install a new Power Supply for my PC a couple days ago because my PC wouldn't start. After I had life again and thought all was good, I immediately noticed I was unable to connect to my wired internet.


I went to device manager and noticed my ethernet device wasn't even listed under network adapters but now under other devices as "ethernet controller". When I clicked on it, I was met with the following device status: -The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) -There are no compatible drivers for this device. -To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.


I tried troubleshooting multiple times through windows but when I followed their steps and restarted my PC, still nothing changed. Then, I went to Intel forums, videos, and websites supporting my issue and went through various guided steps to try and solve this.


After installing the latest version of Intel Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack and many hoops and bounds later, I went back into device manager and noticed my ethernet device was now showing under network adapters as "Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (2) I225-V".


In device manager, I attempted to automatically install the driver through windows and it would not work being unable to find a compatible driver. I also tried manually installing it and choosing a driver and was still unsuccessful.


After enabling/disabling my ethernet device, trying the steps over and over again, trying to install an older version of the driver, updating my BIOS, made sure my ethernet cables were stable and good, and going down tons of rabbit holes, I end up where I started with the same device statuses.


2. I don't know what caused my last power supply unit to fail. I was able to power on and operate my PC the night before like any typical night, but the next day it wouldn't power on at all after trying a different power cord, outlet, etc.


When I go into device manager and attempt updating the driver with the file I extracted from the Intel Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack zip file I downloaded, I am met with this screen (image applies to both searching automatically for drivers, and browsing my PC files for driver.


I also made the discovery that when I click on "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", and choose any of the listed Intel driver devices to try and install, I am met with the same (Code 10) this device cannot start. Additionally, now my device name of "ethernet controller" moves from the other devices tab to under the network adapter tab and matches the name of the driver device tried installing prior as you can see in this image:


So I went to your link and downloaded and extracted the zip file of "Intel Network Drivers" version 26.2.0.1 under the subcategory "LAN Drivers". I auto ran the app and attempted to install it was met with this screen:


Since you are using MSI product, with embedded NIC, contact MSI support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or even replace the motherboard if it is found to be defective.


Please be informed that we will now close this request since we haven't received any response from our previous follow up. Just feel free to post a new question if you may have any other inquiry in the future as this thread will no longer be monitored.

Just installed a new I210-T1 NIC, downloaded 24.1 of the Windows 10 64 bit drivers. When I try to install it, it tells me that "The installed version of Intel(R) Connections is not supported for upgrades. You must uninstall it before installing this version".


Thanks for the quick response. I went in and deleted the one phantom adapter that I had (my previous CT adapter). I then uninstalled the I210-T1 adapter and rebooted. I dont have any VLANs or Teams and the instructions did not address the miniport adapters so I left those. When I tried the driver install again I received the same error as above. However, that install did (seem to) reinstall the default I210-T1 driver with an older version. After reconnecting my network, I updated the default driver to the newer version (shown above) via the device manager search for a Updated version function.


Is your reference to one on those shown or something else. Incidentally, when doing the install discussed in my prior post, I was disconnected from the network. The default driver reappeared in the device manager immediately after displaying the error message during the Intel driver install. It either had in on my local machine or got it from the v24.1 install download.


Yes, that worked. Thanks much. I will say however, following your instructions closely, the uninstall of the "default" I210-T1 adapter never did stay uninstalled across a reboot. After doing steps 1 - 4 and rebooting (#5), the default I210 adapter again appeared in device manager. This time, when I went to uninstall it, there was no check box to delete the adapter, just the uninstall button. I did the uninstall and rebooted a 2nd time. Again the default adapter was back, so I did the uninstall (no "delete" check box) without rebooting and proceeded with the install of the downloaded driver package. It worked fine, and the device manager shows a driver version 12.18.9.1, dated 6/13/2019. The key seemed to be the uninstall of the Intel Network Connections in the Apps and Features section of the Windows settings.


One further question, please. Will this driver be updated (when applicable) during the normal Windows 10 update cycle, or will I need to periodically check the Intel site for new driver updates?


Seriously, I would hope that updates do become available through Windows Update, but I regularly look for changes in the Download Center just in case. I suppose I could do this using IDSA, but I still don't trust it.


I installed windows server 2012 in vMware. Ehternet cards are working in my physical PC but in vMware windows server 2012 I do not see any network adapter and ethernet controller has no driver. Check the attached screenshot and please guide me.screenshot


As you can see in your windows' device manager, Ethernet cards are attacked to the vm machine. You should install the appropriate driver to Ethernet cards get work.Installing vmware-tools is the best and easiest solution.


I bought two refurbished 2911 routers for a home lab. When I boot them up, they both have solid green lights under "SYS" and "PS". I have a console to USB cable and use putty to access the routers. I plug the console cable into the router and the USB into my PC. The PC does not show any extra COM ports under device manager so I am not sure what port to use in Putty. All I see is COM3 and COM4 for "standard Serial over Bluetooth link". I just purchased the cable brand new yesterday.
