3DP Net allows you to install network drivers offline because it comes packaged with an integrated pool of ethernet and wireless drivers. To use it, you must first download the software onto a working secondary device (like another computer or a smartphone) and then transfer it to your offline PC.
Here is the step-by-step guide on how to download, transfer, and use 3DP Net to get your offline computer back on the internet. 1. Download 3DP Net on a Working Device
Since your target PC has no internet, you must use a separate, connected device to fetch the installer.
Using a secondary computer: Open a browser and navigate to the official 3DP Chip Download Page. Click the link to download the latest version of 3DP Net (note: do not download “3DP Chip,” as that program requires an active internet connection to download files).
Using an Android smartphone: You can download the installer file directly onto your phone’s storage via your mobile browser. 2. Transfer the Installer to the Offline PC
The downloaded file is relatively large (often over 100MB) because it contains hundreds of pre-packaged network drivers.
Via USB Flash Drive: Move the downloaded executable (.exe) file from your working computer onto a USB flash drive, then plug it into your offline PC.
Via USB Mobile Cable: Connect your smartphone to the offline PC using a USB charging cable. Set your phone’s USB connection mode to “File Transfer / Android Auto” and use Windows File Explorer to copy the file over. 3. Extract and Run the Software
Copy the installer file directly onto the Desktop or Local Disk (C:) of your offline PC. Double-click the file to run it.
A prompt will ask you for an installation path to extract the built-in driver packages. Leave it at the default location (usually C:\3DP\Net...) and click OK.
Wait a few moments for the extraction progress bar to finish. The 3DP Net software window will open automatically. 4. Install the Network Driver
Once the main 3DP Net interface launches, it operates completely offline:
Identify your adapter: The software will automatically analyze your hardware and display your network card’s brand and model (e.g., Realtek, Intel, or Qualcomm) on the dashboard.
Select alternative adapters (if applicable): If your computer features both an Ethernet port and a Wi-Fi card, you will see a small plus (+) icon on the right side of the network card section. Click it to toggle between your wired and wireless cards.
Begin installation: Click directly on the named Network Card/Driver entry displayed on the screen.
Follow the Wizard: This action automatically triggers the standard Windows Device Driver Installation Wizard. Click Next, allow the installation to complete, and click Finish.
Your network adapter should immediately initialize, enabling your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If the connection does not pop up right away, restart your PC to finalize the changes.
