I just built a gaming computer, it's my first build. The only problem is that my Ethernet doesn't work. I plug direct from my router to my PC, but my PC says there's no connection... Although the lights next to the port on both my router and my PC indicate that the Ethernet cable is connected, which makes me believe this may NOT be a hardware problem. The motherboard is the Z170-A from Asus.
I appreciate all help, and will give max rep.

No, I don't know which drivers are needed/where to download them after finding. It's on windows 10

Drivers either come on a disc supplied with a motherboard or you can download them on another PC and put them on a USB drive to put on your new system.

Here is a link to your motherboard's driver section,
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Choose your operating system and then find drivers for Ethernet.
Transfer the driver executable to your gaming build, install and restart.

Give this a try.
