Basically....when I plug the ethernet wire into my computer the internet doesn't work. When I plug it into the usb adapter and plug that into my computer....it works. Maybe I shouldn't care but, I think without the USB adapter I would get a better speed etc? Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/40259-internet-only-working-through-usb-adapter/

Well it hasn't been working since it's been brand new...and the same can be said for my other completely unrelated computer. I don't really want to do something drastic like like that when it might not be that problem. *edit* I think the network stuff is built into the motherboard?......
