A network card or card is an integrated peripheral or add-on device that allows a computer to create, connect, and interact with wired and wireless networks. To find out its manufacturer and model, use one of the suggested methods.
Instructions
Step 1
If your network card is new and already installed in the computer, you can look at the warranty card or receipt, of course, provided that you kept the original box from the device. The warranty card always contains the full name of the manufacturer and model of the device.
Step 2
If you are looking for your network card model or card to download drivers for a clean version of Microsoft Windows that does not contain built-in device drivers, go to the network card manufacturer's website. Find the page for downloading drivers and software. Usually, it is called Downloads, Drivers, etc. Most likely, the site will automatically detect your network card. If it doesn't, download all available drivers and try installing them via driver update in Device Manager. It is also possible that when connected to the Internet, the operating system will itself determine the model of the network card and load the necessary driver.
Step 3
If the driver is already installed, and you need to find out the manufacturer's name and model number of the network card, go to the Windows control panel through the Start menu or the system folder “My Computer” and double-click on the “Device Manager” shortcut, having previously switched to the “Small icons "or" Large icons ". In the device manager window that appears, find the "Network adapters" section and expand it with a single click of the left mouse button. All network devices will be listed there, including Wi-Fi. Double-click a device name to view the details of the device and the driver installed on it.
Step 4
You can also open the case by carefully removing the network card (if it is not integrated) from the lan slot and look at the labeling on the sticker in the corner of the network card.
