The supplied LAN driver is unfortunately useless and caused problems with the Internet connection

BUT: A big drawback

My experience is based on the following Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-bit. Despite repeated reinstallation, the Internet paved the strangest problem, what I experienced: certain pages (only what is noticed in time)
- Microsoft.com 'thus no activation and updates possible
- EBay (.de / .com etc.)
could not always be found (it appeared the typical telecom error page), while a second computer in the network had no problems

Other pages took much longer, rather it has completed loading.

After countless searches and experimentation, it turned out that the included and ASUS online available driver for the Realtek LAN chipset as usual is not absolutely functional (thanks to a forum user with the same problem, but on another board).

Only the driver of the official Realtek side broke up the problem as if by magic.

Therefore, the 1 star rating because this circumstance I simply cost several days poking around and at the same time could not be fully utilized for the purpose of working computer. Also mainly because the problem could be identified only by chance and I still kept in front of the return of the mainboard. Believe me, one day I doubted my own mind.
