I'm guessing you'd like help with this? I would plug the cable into something else and see if the cable failed for some reason first. If its still good, I would get the drivers off the board maker's website and reinstall that. If that still doesn't fix it, then contact ASUS and see about RMA.

 

Alternative solution: get a PCIe (or USB if that's your kink) network adapter.

For some reason it got to work again after 40min with the computer plugged out. Dunno what happened but its working again.
Edit: Nevermind, it stopped working again.

Its not the cable, the network adapter just stops working, windows does not recognize it
