If the Gigabyte Ethernet/LAN drivers aren't functioning, the Intel Gb LAN could be defective on your motherboard. https://www.gigabyte.com/ca/Motherboard/...driver-lan Ensure you're using Windows 10 version 1909, 2004 or a newer release.
Oh? I see you're checking something about the 20H2. Can you clarify what you mean? Are you worried about the port being faulty or need help with the purchase link? Let me know how I can assist!
Consider resetting CMOS and rebooting to default BIOS settings, then verify the hardware is enabled in BIOS. If active, proceed to Windows to confirm functionality. Try launching a Linux distribution from USB, such as Ubuntu or Mint, to check adapter recognition. Intel gigabit support is robust. If issues persist, the problem likely lies with the hardware—consider returning the board for an RMA or replacing the network interface card. Notably, affordable gigabit NICs are available, so sticking with Intel remains a solid choice if you proceed that way.
Check Device Manager for the adapter display. If absent, the issue likely involves hardware. Ensure the port was activated in BIOS; otherwise, the hardware may be defective.
I also tried resetting the BIOS to its default settings, but it didn’t help. It seems I can’t replace the board. Since I’m not in the US, I can’t get free shipping through Amazon Prime because of high fees here in Saudi Arabia. I sent it to my brother who used to live there, then shipped it to me via FedEx to avoid paying most of the cost. I think a third-party solution might work. Are Intel options suitable for NICs?
It confirms your Windows 10 is completely current. Generally, Intel and Realtek NICs perform well. From the... 7 (?) motherboards I've had in the past ten years, I haven't encountered a missing Ethernet port. However, that doesn't mean it never occurs. Still, yes, a PCI-E X1 Ethernet card should function.
