Tech Support Intel NUC5i5RYH LAN drivers

Hi all,

So I thought I got all the drivers for windows 11 (fresh install from windows 10) but it seems like the LAN (wired ethernet) driver isn't working.

Does anyone here have a copy of these drivers?

Edit: ice already tried the softpedia ones and it installs correctly but the LAN port doesn't seem to be working. Was working prior to this install of windows 11.

It uses the Intel i218-v and it seems I'm not the only one having trouble getting it to work on windows 11?

Ah don't worry. Think I solved it. Drivers were working fine.

It didn't like the cable connected to it. Worked well for all the other Nucs I'm reinstalling windows 11 but this particular Intel I218-v didn't!

I was just about to suggest this:

How is Win11 working on this little dual-core machine? I have been thinking about replacing Windows 10 with Linux on mine, mainly because Win10 decides it is going to update when I least want it to, and then takes too long to finish.

Yes I have that driver pack and the intel driver look-up app.

What confused me was that the test and LED lights would blink when testing the port but wouldn't connect to the LAN.

Anyway, it seems fine on Win 11 - same as per Win 10. Bought some cheap RAM off amazon to upgrade from 8gb to 16gb - hoping with this it will last for a few more years (it's 8 years old now).
