Realtek has made available three new packages targeted at its RTL8156 USB 3.1 2.5G Gigabit Ethernet, RTL8153 and RTL8153B USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet, and RTL8152B USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet, which share the same build version, namely 0322.2019.

The new downloadable archives are compatible with most of Microsoft’s Windows operating systems, including some Server platforms, for both 32- and 64-bit architectures.

To be clear, Realtek has released a 7.045 version suitable for Windows 7 and Server 2008 platforms, an 8.052 package targeted at Microsoft’s Windows 8, 8.1, and Server 2012 OSes, as well as a 10.031 update compatible with Microsofts Windows 10 operating system.

When it comes to installation, first of all, make sure your configuration includes a supported network adapter as highlighted above, save and unzip the appropriate package for your system configuration, and run the available setup file.

Afterward, simply follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete and successful upgrade, and don’t forget to perform a system reboot in order to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your Realtek network controller, as well as your system’s platform, download the package, apply it, and stay “updated one minute ago.”
