How to manually install Ethernet Drivers

If you are unable to access the Internet, other PCs, or peripheral devices attached to your computer, something might be wrong with your computer’s Ethernet driver.

Serious as it may look, the problem can be resolved easily by downloading and installing the latest Ethernet driver, or network driver, as it may be called.

Before you download and install Ethernet drivers, you must ensure that:

1. The error is actually due to issues with the Ethernet driver
