Realtek, well known for its network solutions, has made available new driver versions targeted at its RTL8152B USB 2.0 and RTL8153 USB 3.0 Ethernet controllers, namely build 0505.2017, which might improve the adapter’s overall performance and stability.

To be more specific about the released files, users can download driver version 7.030 compatible with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 platforms, as well as 8.037 suitable for Microsoft’s Windows 8, 8.1, and Server 2012 operating systems.

In addition to that, the producer has also made available the 10.016 package developed for Windows 10 OSes. Also, all available packages can be installed on both 32- and 64-bit architectures of these platforms.

To apply them, first save and extract the appropriate archive for your system configuration, locate the “setup.exe” file, and run it. Now, simply follow all the instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade.

Afterward, it would be a good idea to reboot your computer so that all the changes take effect properly. However, if the wizard doesn’t request this task, make sure to perform it manually.

Bear in mind that, although this process is simple, you mustn’t try to install the drivers on platforms other than the ones above. Even if these files might work on other OSes, they could also cause unwanted device malfunctions.
