Network driver issues Please help!
Hi everyone.
I recently received a new top end PC and am having some issues that I can't for the life of me resolve so I'm hoping you can all help me out a bit.
My MoBo is an ASUS Maximus gene VIII Z170 board
I run my ethernet through homeplugs. These by default go into idle mode when there is no internet signal being used. On my old PC this was never an issue however on my new PC if the homeplug is idle on boot the PC won't recognise there is an ethernet cable attached.
To restart my internet I have to switch off the homeplug and turn it on again to get the PC to recognise the signal. Even then when the PC does recognise the signal I will get an unknown device appear in my device manager which I have since found to be "The Intel(R) Technology Access TAP Driver" which I then install again every time by manually directing the installer to the program data file.
Is there anyway to solve this so that the moment my PC boots it will start the intenret up as was always the case with my old PC
Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
Thanks,
Will
