    What is the Nitro model number like A515-xx, as that would help also, first download the Acer LAN driver for your Nitro laptop, and then to add a new LAN (Local Area Network) adapter to Device Manager in Windows 10/11, follow these steps:

    Open Device Manager:

    1. Press Windows + X and select Device Manager from the menu.
    2. Alternatively, you can search for “Device Manager” in the Start menu or Cortana search bar.

    Expand Network Adapters:

    1. In Device Manager, locate the section labeled Network adapters.
    2. Click the arrow next to it to expand the list.

    Scan for Hardware Changes:

    1. Right-click anywhere in the Device Manager window and select Scan for hardware changes.
    2. This action prompts Windows to search for any new devices connected to your system.

    Check for the New Adapter:

    1. Look for the newly added network adapter.
    2. If it appears, you’ve successfully added it to Device Manager.

    When finished right click the Killer LAN > Properties > Driver > Update Driver, as the Acer provided LAN driver is an old version and there is a new version for your laptop as an update. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
