Asus motherboard and Internet access on desktop

[Heath121]

In 2014 my classmate and I built my computer. I'm using an Asus p8z68-v motherboard. I decided to reinstall Windows 7 just to start fresh. I ran the drivers and utilities CD/DVDs and installed all the drivers, but I do not have Internet access. Is this because the drivers that were installed are out of date?

The only Internet access I have right now is on my iPad. But I can't get Internet on my desktop. My modem and adapter are working just fine. I don't know what to do right now. I understand that some people can download drivers onto a flash and then install them that way, but I don't have that option.

Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Start by making sure that the Network Adapter is listed normally in Device Manager.
- If it's listed normally it shouldn't have any icon on it like a Yellow Exclamation mark.
- If it does, right click on it and uninstall the Network Adapters again.
- Reinstall its driver using the disc that came with your motherboard again it should work just fine even if it's not the latest driver.
- If this will not work unfortunately your only option would be to download all the recommended driver that your PC needs from Asus Support site.

There is an exclamation mark next to network controller. I uninstalled, and reinstalled the drivers, but it's still there.
Even if I wanted to download drivers I have no way of installing it on my desktop. I only have my iPad. I'm stuck.

Update: I went out and bought a router. I only had a modem and an apple express airport with only one lan port. So, I'm connected, but now I just have to find the drivers.
