Posted February 1, 2021 I have an Asus Rog Strix z490e. I had issues with the ethernet driver being duplicated from the previous motherboard so I uninstalled the ethernet driver through device manager so I could restart my computer to have it installed fresh. That being said, after I restarted it, the driver did not redownload. So, I had to redownload the ethernet driver through Intel's website. Since the ethernet driver did not reinstall, does this mean the motherboard was defective? Because ever since I have been using ethernet with the redownloaded driver, my ping has been very unstable in the games I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When uninstalling your ethernet driver, did you check "Delete the driver software for this device"? Doing so will cause Windows to remove the driver from your driver store and prevent it from automatically reinstalling. 36 minutes ago, John55 said: Because ever since I have been using ethernet with the redownloaded driver, my ping has been very unstable in the games I play. Grab the ethernet driver from your motherboard manufacturer, not Intel. You can download it from https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/04LAN/I225V_Intel_Gigabit_Ethernet_Driver_V1.0.1.4_WIN10_64-bit.zip.

When I click "Remove driver software from this device" when I uninstall my wifi drivers, it installs just fine after restart. So, does me downloading the drivers from the website cause any issues? Also, when I download the drivers from the manufacturer website, it gives me a Intel I255 V driver and a Intel I255 End User FW. Do I install both?
