Method 1: Download from Intel Support Manually

To manually download and update driver for your Intel Ethernet, first you need to know the model of your network adapter.

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key andX at the same time, then click Device Manager .

2. Expand Network adapters . Double-click your Intel Network adapter.

3. Go toDriver tab. You should be able to see the detailed information of this certain driver here.

Now that you have more detailed information about your network driver, you can start looking for the newer driver for it.

4. Go to the Drivers & Software section on Intel Support . Type the name of our adapter in the box in the middle. Click the search icon.

5. SelectDrivers from the drop down menu on the left.

6. We can see that the latest version that you could see is the driver released on October, 11th, 2016 for Windows 7 operating system.

This version is newer than the version that we are having now, which is released on April, 5th, 2016, according to the information that we saw in the above screen shot.

7. Click into the web page for this driver, and download the correct version for your operating system.

8. When you finish the download, extract the file and then run the installation setup app to install it by yourself.

Method 2: Download and Update Automatically

If you find the above method too much to ask from you, or you’re not confident playing around with drivers manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy .

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.
