So I have an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard and I'm running a good computer off of it but I have recently only been able to connect via a USB network adapter. I have reset my computer, modem and used various ethernet cables. I can't seem to connect through ethernet at all. I don't know how to update drivers or any of that sort. I want to play a game and I keep getting disconnected via USB whereas I wasn't through ethernet. I would really appreciate a quick fix so I can stop being so frustrated. Half of my tabs don't even open on this WIFI and I have a top of the line adapter (A6200) . I have verizon fios and my friend is connected via ethernet with no problems at all. So clearly it's a software/hardware issue. If anyone can help I'd really really appreciate it. Thanks.

Also, my wifi randomly disconnects me. It's very frustrating doing anything. I'm not sure if I have a 64bit windows 8.1 or 32 bit 8.1. How do I check? I've tried downloading from this website before and once I clicked download nothing happened.

I'ts a 64 bit I just found out. I am currently downloading from LAN and I will let you know what the result of this is. Thanks for being so quick to respond.

There is no setup.exe file. I have a compressed folder here and the first folder is "Realtek_LAN_XPVistaWin7-8-8-1V... and I click on that and then I have five or sex folders: NDIS2_V1.40 , VISTA, WINDOWS7, WINDOWS8, XP then 3 non folders that say AsusSetup (Application) AsusSetup (Config settings) and AsusSetup.exe.manifest (Manifest file)

I click on windows 8 and I see : 6 folders: FAQ, ICON, QUICK_INSTALL_GUIDE, README, TOOL, UTILIZE_DUAL_MAC_GUIDE, WIN8
Also seen is _Setup.dll
AsusSetup (app)
AsusSetup (config setting)
AsussSetup.exe.manifest
autoinst
data1
data1.hdr

and a bunch of language options
none of the folders i click on has setup.exe
