Help! My Ethernet isn't working after reinstalling Windows on my Lenovo Legion 5

I've got a Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H laptop that I've been using over Wi-Fi for a while. After I reinstalled Windows and updated all the drivers, I noticed a problem: the Ethernet LAN isn't functioning at all. I've tried using different ports on the router, and the cable is definitely good. Also, there's nothing in the BIOS about LAN optionsโ€”just a setting to disable Wi-Fi. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

If the Ethernet adapter isn't appearing in Device Manager, thatโ€™s a big clue. You can try refreshing the hardware list by clicking โ€˜Scan for hardware changesโ€™ in Device Manager. If that doesn't work, itโ€™s worth checking the BIOS settings again to ensure thereโ€™s no option that might have been missed.

First, check if the Ethernet adapter is visible in Device Manager. If it's not showing up at all, there might be an issue with the drivers or the hardware itself. Sometimes, reinstalling the Ethernet drivers can help. You might want to visit Lenovo's support page to download the latest drivers for your model.
