MSI Mpower LAN/Ethernet driver

jahk888 · 30 Jan 2014 at 22:19

I have been using my motherboard for around 3 months now using the on board wireless connection.

I have recently started gaming and have plugged in a wired Ethernet connection however I notice that my machine stays wireless.

I have now realised from device manager I have no Ethernet Controller driver installed and windows is failing to locate a driver online.

I have searched through MSI's website but cannot locate the driver, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Try the link below:

Scroll down and highlight the driver tap, click your operating system and find the Killer Network driver - should be on the third row.

After you install the Killer Network driver, you may need (it happens to me with onboard WiFi on MSI mobos) to manually turn off the wireless completely, as it keeps connecting after a few seconds even with the Ethernet plugged in. But maybe it was just my settings.

If you don't want the stupidly OTT killer software suite the above link is the plain driver. Much better option tbh!
