Only the driver

Driver + network program (Not really necesary)

so with this, it will recognize my network when i plug in the ethernett cord ?

[Sors]

It should.

 

For the first link you may need to go into the device manager and update the drivers from there, if you are not sure how to do this, try the 2nd link, it should have a setup program that installs the drivers for you.

all my computer has is windows and thats it. how do I install the drivers?

[Sors]

Right click and extract the content of the files to a folder.

 

Then depends on what did Asus included in the file, for the file in the first link you would need to right click on the windows start icon and select device manager, then look for the network adapters section, you should see a device with an exclamation mark, right click and select update driver, then it will ask for the location of the driver, browse to the folder where you extracted the files and that should be all.

You can drag the files, but don't double click, you need to use the right button on your mouse.

Yes, it will extract the contents of the zip file to a folder.

If you can, try to find an executable driver installer. Also, this should be moved to Troubleshooting.

and in the folder there will be something called like "run.exe" or something like that

okay so the drivers are installed. should my computer recognize the network now ? and everything should just work perfectly?

[Sors]

The network should work, I recommend you to download the rest of the drivers and install those as well.
