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.
 
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.
 


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
 

It's there I uninstall it, reboot my pc and plug it back in but still when i go to adapter settings its not there, only PCI Wifi card
