Windows 10: Ethernet keeps disconnecting every three minutes for a few seconds

Wired Ethernet randomly disconnects occasionallyHello, I've been having trouble with my Ethernet connection to my computer.Recently, after installing a few games from the Xbox Game Pass my computer has randomly disconnected my Ethernet connection to it.I've made sure the modem works fine, and I've also done various steps to try to fix it. Resetting my IP, turning off the power savers for my network drivers, turning off all of my firewalls, etc.

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

 

Constantly disconnecting with ethernet cable

Hello,

Thank you for keeping us posted on the status of the issue.

I suggest you to check if rolling back the Ethernet driver helps to resolve the issue. Follow the below steps.

• First of all, Press Windows logo + R from keyboard. It will open
  RUN.
• Now type devmgmt.msc and press Enter to open Device Manager.
• You will see all the device list of your PC. Expand Network Adapters

Rollback driver

Double click on your Ethernet driver in Device Manager. Then Click on
Driver tab and select Rollback.

Important: If your drive is performing well and there is no error, Rollback driver button will be grayed out as an option.

If it still does not help, I suggest you to reinstall the drivers for the Ethernet driver and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Note: Once you uninstall the drivers the Ethernet adapter device will be disabled and you won’t be able to connect to internet. So it is advisable to keep all the installer files as a back up in your hard drive.

Write to us with the results for further assistance.

Thank You.

 

Ethernet keeps disconnecting

Since upgrading to Win10 (1903 then 1909) I have had frequent disconnections on my broadband. I use a standard CAT 5 ethernet cable connected to my router, and after about 10 minutes or so of internet connectivity my broadband drops. I can still connect to the router which shows the signal apparently still going with my IP address, but pinging any website (eg Google) using cmd just gives a blank, not even a disconnected or error message. Meanwhile the internet icon in the system tray shows no internet connection.

A reboot will return my internet connection back to normal until the next drop which could be 10-20 minutes later. I should add I do not have this issue with Win 7 or Linux. I have an onboard ethernet chip on my motherboard, but clearly there's nothing wrong there, so this issue does seem Win 10 related. Any ideas on resolving this would be welcome.
