Ethernet cable not detected. Using ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO Mobo

[Abid Naga]

I'm currently using the asus maximus vii hero and I plugged in my ethernet cord from the router but it isn't getting detected. I am using Windows 8.1 and an asus RT-AC68U router with a 100ft ethernet cable (router mounted on the wall and wasn;t able to get a cord from modem to router unless I mounted it on the wall) Does anyone have any solutions, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Is the motherboard driver for the ethernet port installed?

Just as important, do you have any other device (i.e. a laptop) that you can use to check if the ethernet from the router is even working?

Lets troubleshoot the problem first.

Connect the ASUS Maximus directly to the router with a short cable. If it works, you can bet its a cable issue. Re crimp the ends of the 100ft cable or simply replace it.

If it doesn't work, unplug the router from the modem and use the same cable to plug your PC directly into the modem.

If its still a no go, go to control panel and view your network adapters to be sure the Ethernet adapter isn't disabled. Lastly, reinstall the latest drivers from the ASUS website.

I've had the network port on my ASUS Rampage Gene go bad like this (two actually) and i've had to buy a PCI network adapter.

It works perfectly on my laptop, but I tried installing the intel ethernet drivers and the installation fails. Can you send me a link to the drivers? I can't seem to find the correct one online.

Still nothing works. I haven't been able to find drivers for the mobo so if you can provide any links that'd be great.

Just go to device manager . Find the entry for the network device and uninstall it by right clicking on it . Reboot . Windows will find the device and reload the driver .

if it is listed in device manager , just uninstalling the crashed driver and rebooting will get it working . If its not listed there its electrically dead and you need to add a network card

This worked for me:
http://support.asus.com/Troubleshooting/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=G73Sw&p=3&s=252&os=30&hashedid=aa97wm..&no=1774

I disabled the power management for the Ethernet network adapter as described in steps 4 and 5
Restarted and so far so good.
