Read essential network drivers

This is a great motherboard. But like most people who bought this, I had trouble loading network drivers and other important drivers. For the rest of my life, I couldn't install LAN drivers, making it impossible to connect to the internet. Now you need to install Windows on all new assemblies. BUT the Windows installation discs do not contain the latest updates. And without an internet connection, you cannot get these updates. So please do yourself a favor and buy a USB WiFi adapter to plug into your computer and connect to WiFi. Then go to the Windows website and download any new updates. This motherboard will NOT load any drivers unless you have the latest Windows update. Even if you try to go to the Asus website to download the drivers, the software to download the drivers won't open. As soon as I updated Windows it recognized everything connected to my computer and everything works great now. The easiest solution is to just buy a wireless adapter, use it for a day and return it.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • boring packaging
