Win8 Ethernet adapter not working on GAG31MES2L
« on: November 11, 2012, 03:13:13 am »
Hello Folks,


I recently upgraded my system from Win7 Pro to Win8 and somehow my internet broadband connection stopped working after the upgrade.


I have checked my internet connection (works), Ethernet cable (works - tested using laptop).


Am not sure if it is of any help but the lights where the lan cable is connected to the modem gives a long blink every 3 seconds. Did some googling and seems like it is a problem with the win8 drivers.


Could you suggest how to fix this?


Thanks

Renish

Try google for ethernet drivers for windows 8 for your Atheros AR8131 ethernet chip that is on your motherboard. You might be able to force windows 7 drivers, but not sure.

Luck
