Hello,
A bit of info first... I bought the ASUS N750JV laptop (it says R750JV on the label at the bottom side of the laptop, but the case says N-series)
It came pre-installed with Windows 8, which I upgraded to 8.1, but I still hated it.
So I formatted it and put Win 7 on it.
There are no drivers for Win 7 on the ASUS site, but before the format I found the drivers (in Win 8.1) on the recovery partition or any other partition, I don't know anymore --> many of them are WIn 7 and 8 compatible, not the LAN or WLAN...)
Anyway, everything works, but for some reason it does not auto-switch between wireless or LAN, when I plug in the LAN cable. So I have to disable the WiFi adaptor in networkcenter...
When disabled only the LAN adaptor is enabled, thus plugging in the cable works.
When I unplug the LAN cable, ofcourse the WiFi does not turn on again as I shut down the adapter...
I had a few little problems installing (finding) the correct drivers (LAN and WLAN) in the beginning so I don't know if anything is conflicting...
All I want is the auto-switching ability back (I tried a piece of software that would do that, but nope...) --> hence it should be automatic as always, with all my previous laptops, including this one when in Win 8.1
I don't know if this screen looks normal? As I don't know if you can have 2 connections one 1 network connection? --> see image

EDIT: And this is a screenshot of device manager, showing all adapters are installed (and I can go on internet with them anyway...)
And another screenshot of ALL the stuff already installed after the Format C --> to give you guys info iff any LAN or WLAN driver/soft could conflict...
