The Davicom SR9700 driver allows Windows to recognize the network adapter and use it for a wired Ethernet connection. If the adapter appears as an unknown device or cannot connect after a Windows installation, installing a matching driver may restore its network functions.

Key Features

• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the Davicom SR9700 correctly and display it under Network adapters in Device Manager.
• Wired networking support: Enables communication between the operating system and the adapter for access to a local network or the internet.
• Windows network integration: Lets you manage the connection through familiar Windows settings, including IP configuration and connection status.
• Driver maintenance: Provides a way to replace a missing or incompatible driver when troubleshooting adapter detection or connectivity issues.

How to Install

1. Confirm the adapter and Windows version. Open Device Manager and check the adapter’s name or hardware IDs under Properties > Details. Identify whether you are using Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check your system architecture so you can choose an appropriate package.

1. Download a compatible driver. Select a Davicom SR9700 driver package that explicitly supports your Windows version and matches the device’s hardware ID. Compatibility can vary between packages, so do not assume an older driver will work on every listed operating system. If this computer has no network access, download the package on another device and transfer it using a USB drive.

1. Extract and install the package. If the download is compressed, extract it first. Run the included installer, if available, and follow its prompts. Otherwise, right-click the adapter or unknown device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and choose Browse my computer for drivers to locate the extracted folder.

1. Restart if prompted. After installation, reconnect the adapter if necessary and check that Device Manager lists it without a warning symbol. Avoid bypassing Windows driver-signature warnings; look for a properly signed, compatible package instead.

1. Test the Ethernet connection. Attach an Ethernet cable connected to an active router or switch, then check the connection in Windows network settings. If the adapter is detected but you remain offline, inspect the cable, router port, and IP settings before reinstalling the driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or Windows blocks the driver: Run the SR9700 installer as administrator and use a signed driver package compatible with your Windows version. If Windows SmartScreen or driver signature enforcement blocks it, verify the publisher before temporarily disabling enforcement.
• Adapter not detected: Connect the SR9700 directly to a USB 2.0 port, not an unpowered hub. Check Device Manager for “Unknown USB Device,” reseat the adapter, and confirm its link LED. Try another USB cable/port before reinstalling.
• Version conflicts with an existing driver: In Device Manager, uninstall the current SR9700 adapter and select “Delete driver software.” Disconnect the adapter, reboot, install the latest Davicom SR9700 package, then reconnect. Confirm the Driver Date/Version in Device Manager.
