From time to time, all the hardware installed in the computer requires a driver update. If the drivers for the video card or for the sound equipment are updated quite often, then less attention is paid to updating the drivers for the network equipment. Meanwhile, the normal operation of the network card also requires the installation of the latest drivers.

Instructions
Step 1
Depending on the model of the network card, there are several ways to update the drivers. The first method is suitable if you have a built-in network card. That is, you did not purchase a separate, more functional network card than the one that is already integrated into the motherboard.
Step 2
Right-click on the "My Computer" shortcut and select "Properties" from the context menu. A menu with the specifications of your computer appears. Select the "Device Manager" tab. Find the line "Network equipment". Click on the arrow next to this line. A line with the name of your network card will open. Click on it with the right mouse button. In the context menu that appears, select the "Update driver" command. Check the box next to the "Use Internet connection" line. The process of automatic updating via the Internet will begin. At the end, you will be informed about the successful driver update.
Step 3
The second option should be used if you bought a separate network card in addition to the one that was already integrated into the motherboard of your computer, because it is it that works as the main one on your PC.
Step 4
Look in the technical documentation for the model name of the network card. Write it down or memorize it. Go to the website of the manufacturer of this network card and select the "Files" section. Then select "Network Cards". A list of network cards from this manufacturer will appear, including your model. Select the correct model of the network card. You will be prompted to select an operating system. Select your operating system. The driver download process will begin.
Step 5
After saving the driver folder on your computer, open it. Find the "Setup" file. The driver installation wizard will start. Install the driver using its prompts. The driver has been updated.
