In the ecosystem of a computer, the operating system (Windows, Linux) communicates with physical hardware through small pieces of software called drivers . For internet connectivity, ASUS devices rely on specific drivers that tell the OS how to use the built-in or external network hardware.

If you build a PC with an ASUS motherboard, install the LAN driver from the included USB drive or support page trying to use Ethernet – Windows may not have a native driver for newer 2.5GbE or 5GbE controllers.
