Motherboard driver question

[JakeDonger]

I have a question about the new motherboard I installed. Which driver is the one that lets me use ethernet? I have the Gigabyte GA H170-D3HP motherboard. Thanks

Chances are, Windows already supports it. If this mobo came with a driver disc, you won't need to use it, unless ethernet isn't working, or there's free software on the disc that you would actually use (if you wouldn't ever use it, don't install it, or uninstall it later if it's no use).

 

Hope that helped.

I have tried doing ethernet and it will not connect. I have also installed the things on the disc and it still wont work

If it's showing up in Device Manager then there's something else wrong.

 

Here's the driver straight from Intel: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/18713/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-7-?product=60020
