Windows 10: Ethernet Icon swapping in and out with wifi symbol

I'm an avid gamer and have been noticing connectivity issues with my internet, despite my ethernet cable which should at least be providing a stable connection from my computer to my router. I've gone through two different routers, so I'm assuming that's not it. It's probably something to do with the ethernet cable. However, recently, I've noticed that the wifi symbol on my computer switches from the ethernet logo to the regular wifi logo intermittently, though when I click for more information it still says that I'm connected to both. Does anyone know why it's doing this and if it is applicab

Wifi keeps swapping to ethernet?

My PC wifi keeps swapping to ethernet and I have tried everything that has been suggested like resetting my PC and uninstalling and reinstalling my ethernet driver but so far nothing has worked.

 

The ethernet icon is showing in my tray instead of the wifi symbol

As above but everything else seems okay. I'm connected to wifi and that is working okay and it says that I am not connected to Ethernet in the settings. However the Ethernet symbol is now showing in my icon tray instead of the previous wifi symbol. Does
anyone know why this might be. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything.

 

Ethernet throttled after swapping from ethernet to wifi to ethernet again

Hello,

I'd like to report an issue I have that arises when I unplug the ethernet on my desktop (to use on another device) and swap to a USB wifi adapter I have and then swap back later to the ethernet, unplugging the wifi adapter.

It appears that windows (or something, my router?) throttles the speed of the ethernet after I have done this, and until I restart the computer, the speeds I achieve don't generally go above 2 Mbps. Once I restart, they go back to the general speeds I receive
(and pay for) of around 80+ Mbps.

Is there any explanation for this? I find it quite annoying that I have to restart my PC so that it can get the network speeds that it usually gets just because I swap between wifi and ethernet.

Thanks!
