I see Asus has an update for the intel gigabit ethernet (v.16.5.0.0), but it does not state what the update changes or improves. My version is 11.8.74.0. Can anyone tell me what the update changes or improves and whether or not the install is worthy?

Thanks...Al
 
Do not download 16.8 there is a bug where it doesn't recognize your lan properly. Intel said they found the problem and would be releasing it in "soon". Stick with 16.7 for now

No problems here on my Asus V/GEN3 with 16.8 great pings and no issues online with my Intel Nic.
 
I read the download site and it states "installs the LAN driver version 16.8 for Intel® Desktop Boards with the Intel® PRO Network Connection. I'm not sure if I have the intel PRO network connection. The one I have, according to the device manager under the network adapters tab, is the Intel (R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection. Are they one in the same or different - seems to be different to me.

Thanks...Al

Intel Checker link here http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/?iid=subhdr+dnlds_detect
 
Thanks for the link^^^^. I tried to run the checker, but it just runs and never installs. How long does it suppose to take to run the check? Btw, I checked through windows and it said the driver was up to date, but when I saw this update on Asus site and that's why I've asked these questions.

Thanks...Al

Weird, I have installed the latest one from intel, and actually after restarts, sometimes it's recognised as V sometimes as LM. It just keeps changing whenever it wants too.

Not sure if its impacting performance though, seems to be working fine.
