I cant figure out there website and where and what the newest Nic driver is. I went to gigabyte and see some driver from 2024 on a new 2025 motherboard? this is confusing. Can anyone post the most updated link for win 10 64 bit please. Thanks.

If you list the NIC hardware, then someone can help you find the driver. However, having a driver from 2024 for a NIC chip on a 2025 board is not abnormal at all. or post what board you have

CM point is valid. If the PC is booting up and connecting to the web using base drivers, Windows Update will offer the newest driver for you if a newer one is available.
 
So, from what I can tell, the manual says it's the GBE LAN chip, Google says the wireless card is the Realtek RTL8852CE or Intel AX211. The driver listed on the support page for your board is the most up-to-date driver I could find (June 12/2025), Realtek has them listed, but they are dated 2018.

I would use the one listed on your support page, as it seems like the most up-to-date driver. hope that helps
 
I stopped downloading manually each driver (except gpu) years ago. Unless you have a specific bug, windows update drivers are stable and just enough. It’s normal about the driver’s date, a 2025 motherboard can have older but quality components.
 
I still do it on a first install if the drivers listed under the MB download section are not as new as the chip manufacturer, but it's very rare in this day and age. Unless, like DJ has said, there is a problem with the one MS gives you.
 
Yes, it's the same driver that is listed on their support page. I didn't list it because it's confusing to someone who doesn't know what exact NIC their board has. However, the board support page has a listed NIC driver that is clear and not confusing, compared to the 3 options he would have on the Realtek download page if using Win11.

See here is the confusing part to me. This page tells me nothing about what i was looking for and what driver is what it doesnt clearly say windows 10 nic driver number, date...ndis stuff? its all foreign to me.
