Ethernet keeps disconnecting

I have the same issue on my Dell XPS 15 laptop (which worked normally for many months after I set it up). I've ruled out all hardware culprits (Dell even swapped in a new motherboard). I've done every last suggestion in this post and all other tutorials I've found about Ethernet disconnects and "default gateway not available" errors (including a repair install of Windows 11 Pro). My wi-fi connection is fine, but all of a sudden after six months, my laptop cannot maintain a stable Ethernet connection. It disconnects after a few minutes. Sometimes it spontaneously reconnects for a little while before disconnecting yet again. If I remove the Ethernet cable and reconnect it, that will usually restore the connection for a short time. The problem happens whether IPV4 is enabled, IPV6, or both. The only option I have not tried is the nuclear one: a clean reinstall of W11.

 

[FIXED]: Internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting randomly (using ethernet)

Greetings,

I just built a new PC with Windows 11, everything is working smoothly, however, my internet connection keeps disconnecting and reconnecting randomly (every few minutes/seconds).

I am using Ethernet BTW, but my PC has Wifi as well (Which is disconnected)

I really don't know what's the issue,

Things I have tried:

- Updating drivers

- Not allowing PC to shut down the internet for power saving

- Using windows troubleshooter

can you help me, please.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have fixed the issue with my new PC (ASUS Z790-F, Windows 11)

After a clean reset of my new PC, I installed the Drivers again, but the issue still occurred, however,

I did do several steps and the issue has been fixed.

1st Step: go to Device Manager > expand the Network Adapters > Right click on the (Intel Ethernet Controller I226-V) > Properties > Advanced > Energy Efficient Ethernet (Turn it Off)> then click OK

2nd Step: go to Device Manager > expand the Network Adapters > Right click on the (Intel Ethernet Controller I226-V) > Properties > Advanced > scroll down > select Speed & Duplex > set it to 1.0Gbps Full Duplex > then click OK

3rd step: > go to Device Manager > expand the Network Adapters > Right click on the (Intel Ethernet Controller I226-V) > Properties > Power Management > Un-Tick the box beside "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" > then click OK

Restart the PC, and the problem has gone
