You recently installed a new Realtek Ethernet driver, but it isn’t functioning properly. You’ve already tried basic fixes like rebooting, using the troubleshooter, resetting connections, and switching to an older WiFi adapter. USB tethering also doesn’t work. You’re considering using a driver booster, but you’re having trouble connecting your computer. What should you try next?
It's fascinating, since I obtained the driver from there, which caused all the issues. My MOBO is an MSI Z97 PC model.
Windows displays error code 56 in the Device Manager under Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller. It also appears you can't install drivers, as the process seems to stop unexpectedly and reset the settings.
