Realtek PCI-E Ethernet (LAN) Drivers For Windows 7-11

Updated Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Family Driver, August 16, 2023:

Windows 10 > v10.66

Updated Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Family Drivers, August 24, 2023

Windows 11:
v11.15 (Not Support Power Saving)
v11.15

Updated Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Family Driver, August 28, 2023:

Windows 10 > v10.66 (8/28 re-release)

note: I've been told by the Realtek PCIe NIC/LAN software team a few months ago that they will only release new Win10 & Win11 drivers; they will no longer produce nor make any new LAN driver releases for older Windows versions like Win7 & Win8.x (v7.142 is the very last driver for Win7 and v8.088 is the very last driver for Win8/8.1)
