So my question is, do I need a "Network card" or some other hardware to connect to the internet? I have a modem/router and plan on connecting to the internet via ethernet cord directly to the router.

Will I need to buy anything else?

Thank you.

 
Solution
The motherboard has an ethernet connection on the back panel. Download and install the LAN driver for the motherboard and you're good to go.

Download the driver from here: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99-A-II/HelpDesk_Download/
