What do you mean by trying it? Did it allow a higher connection speed?

The Intel network driver on your board's download page may be "old", but it worked perfectly fine with my ASRock Z97 board. The driver version is not the problem with your link speed. I've had 1Gbps link speed connections with my old Z77 board and a much older Intel network driver. I have older boards than that and they work at 1Gbps.

You said you don't seen the Advanced tab in the Device Manager entry for the I218-V. That is caused by not installing the driver correctly. That is not your mistake, Intel has set the default installation options for the network driver installer for professional use. I will show you how to fix that and get the Advanced tab back in Device Manager.

When you run the Intel network driver installation program, at one point you will see this screen:



The box next to Intel Advanced Network Services must NOT have a check mark in it. All you want to install is Device Drivers and Intel PROSet, nothing else. If you just install those two things, you will get the Advanced tab back in Device Manager.

Just install the same driver again or a new one, which will ask you to do a repair or update install, that is fine. They be sure the Intel Advanced Network Services is NOT checked.

If you still have a problem with a low link speed connection, then the board might be bad, or at least something to do with the Intel network chip. Are you sure you get a better than 10Mbps connection with your network cable into your laptop?
