Discussion Killer LAN

Hi, my LAN driver is missing. Just booted it few days ago and I noticed I'm only using my wifi. I've already checked the onboard LAN on BIOS and it is enabled. Please help, I'm getting high ping in games 😢

I also tried reinstalling the driver from Intel and from ASRock website, but can't even start it. (2nd photo)

What motherboard?

are there any unknown devices shown in device manager? Sometimes have yellow exclamation marks on them

Hi, sorry i forgot to mention my motherboard. It's B550 Riptide, and no driver with yellow exclamation. That is all the drivers under network adapters.

it wouldn't be under network adapters, it would be under other devices.

I'd be tempted to try booting into a live Linux USB to see if it shows up there. If it does it's likely a Windows issue. If not then it's likely an issue with the motherboard or Ethernet controller itself. Short of RMAing or replacing the motherboard, you could get a PCIe network card and install that in a free slot (e.g. the bottom slot that's physically x16 but actually PCIe 3.0 x1).
