    Network Drivers query.


    My wife's 64 bit Windows 10 PC has been giving some trouble of late, disconnecting from the Internet for no apparent reason. It is fitted with a USB wireless internet connector. The driver is for a Realtek RTL8811 AU wireless LAN 802 ac USB2 network adapter. I have therefore downloaded and installed an updated Realtek driver from the web and wait to see if that solves the problem.

    While looking on Device Manager I noticed there is another device called Realtek PCle GBE Family Controller. Do I need this and if not can I just remove it? The PC and my laptop are on on a home group and I do not have a clue if the Family Controller is necessary for Home Group working. You will note from my description of these items that I am not very computer savvy and for this I apologise.

    :)

    queries about networks

    And if getting the settings from there isn't possible it's always possible to get them from the network's website. Or failing even that, you can call the operator and have them send them.

    Windows 10 - how to uninstall and reinstall network adapter driver without WiFi?

    Hi Sunny,

    In response to your query, when you uninstall the network adapter driver and restart the computer, Windows will automatically look for stored drivers from your system and get it installed even if there is no network connectivity.

    Hope this answers your query.

    Network Drivers query.

    Realtek PCle GBE Family Controller is for a wired ethernet connection, you might need it one day, so do not uninstall it *Smile

    Note: You can disable it in Device Manager (right click > disable device), but it's not necessary.
