ASUS supplies networking drivers for the Wi-Fi and Ethernet controllers built into its motherboards, plus drivers for its USB Wi-Fi adapters. Because the controllers vary by board, the correct package is the one listed for your exact model and revision. For a USB adapter, use the driver ASUS lists for that specific device rather than a board package.

DriverHub US does not host driver files or bundle an updater. This page documents the ASUS Wi-Fi and Ethernet (Motherboard and Router-adjacent)family; its citations are selected from the package-source policy recorded for this family.
The family record names ASUS page by board or adapter model as the package source. Match the package to the exact ASUS Wi-Fi and Ethernet (Motherboard and Router-adjacent) device signals on this page and to Windows 10, Windows 11. A family name alone is not enough when the publisher separates packages by model, hardware revision, or PC configuration.

Intel
Intel's wireless adapter family is one of the most common internal Wi-Fi solutions in laptops and many desktops, frequently combining Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on a single card. The driver manages band steering, roaming, and power saving, all of which shape real-world speed and stability. On a laptop the maker's OEM-validated build is generally preferable to the generic Intel driver because it is matched to the firmware and antenna layout.
Intel
Intel Ethernet controllers drive wired network ports on many motherboards and laptops, from gigabit parts to newer multi-gigabit versions. The Intel driver adds features such as advanced offloads and wake-on-LAN and can resolve intermittent link issues that a generic driver leaves unaddressed. On a prebuilt system the OEM build matched to the firmware is the safer starting point.
Realtek
Realtek's PCIe Ethernet controllers, in gigabit and 2.5G forms, are among the most widely used wired network chips on consumer motherboards and laptops. Windows usually loads a basic driver automatically, but the validated build from your PC or motherboard maker can fix link stability on the newer 2.5G parts. For a 2.5G port to reach full speed, the cable and switch must also support that rate.
Realtek
Realtek wireless LAN adapters appear in many budget and mainstream laptops and in a large number of USB Wi-Fi dongles. The driver governs the same roaming and power behavior as any wireless part, and on a laptop the OEM build tuned for that model tends to be steadier than a generic one. For USB dongles, the adapter maker's driver for that specific chipset is the correct source.
AMD
On AMD platforms, some networking components are delivered through the AMD chipset software rather than as separate downloads, tying them to the platform package. Where a board or laptop uses this arrangement, keeping the chipset software current is how you keep those network parts supported. Many AMD systems still pair with an Intel or Realtek Wi-Fi card, which uses its own driver alongside the chipset software.
Dell
Dell publishes wireless and wired network drivers validated for the exact adapters in each of its systems, matched to Dell firmware and antenna design. These OEM builds manage roaming and power behavior for that model and often resolve resume-from-sleep wireless drops that generic drivers miss. Find the correct package by entering your service tag or model on Dell's support site.
