Problems with Ethernet

[pjo71099]

Merry Christmas all

So for Christmas, I've finally bought my own PC. I need to connect it to the Ethernet through a booster. I have all the wires plugged in and the booster is working, so are the wires. It works on my PS4, however, I can't seem to get a connection on my PC, I can only get a WIFI connection which is very weak and not very good for gaming. I'm using windows 8.1.

Thanks,

There's an Ethernet port on the back so I assumed there was Ethernet, sorry if it's an obvious mistake but I'm new to all this.

Does it work if you plug the PC ethernet cable straight into the router?

Not an option I'm afraid. However there has been an update. I downloaded a new driver and it worked fine for a short while, but it went wrong. The Ethernet option now reads "Unidentified Network" and "limited".

What do you mean "Not an option I'm afraid"?
