Windows 10: My internet after a couple minutes will randomly disconnect and won’t show up anymore.

When I turn on my pc and connect to the internet, everything works fine for around 10mins, but for some random reason, the internet will disconnect and disappear from the network. When I see the network list, nothing shows up. If I shut down my pc and turn it on again, I’ll have internet, but only for around 10mins. It’s nothing to do with the actual home internet as everything works fine for other devices. The pc use to work perfectly fine months ago, but now is acting weird.

Internet Randomly Disconnects: Ethernet Network Adapter Keeps Disconnecting

My internet keeps randomly disconnecting throughout the day. Its a Dell (Windows 10Pro 22H2 - Dell Precision 5770) with Network Adapter: Realtek USB Gbe Family Controller Ethernet. I tried these steps below, no resolution yet:

One thing I noticed, everytime the internet randomly disconnects, I go to Device Manager, and notice the Realtek Network Adapter has totally disappeared from the list (with no option to reenable, even after finding it in Hidden devices).

I have to go through these two steps in this order to bring back internet.

1. Restart Computer
   
2. and then Restart Modem Router. ( I do restart modem by unplugging/plugging back in).
   

If the ethernet disconnects, Restarting the Modem won't work. Neither will Restarting Computer work. It has two be those two steps above in that specific order. I'm curious if having this resolution path, to understand why ethernet adapter disappears. If you can help target or specify why its occurring?

Already attempted this: and the problem still continues

1. Updated Dell Drivers
   
2. Windows Update
   
3. Network Adapter Troubleshooter
   
   
   
4. (a) Network Reset and (b) tried manually uninstalling/reinstalling network drivers separately
   
   
   
5. Tried manually downloading the software drivers at Realtek website Oops!
   
6. Replace cable just in case, but the other computer in home does not have internet randomly disconnect
   
7. Tried:
   

1. Disable these three in Device Manager: (a) Energy Efficient Internet (b) Green Ethernet (c) Wake on Magic Packet
   

I use the modem with another computer, and no issues whatsoever, until I got a new computer.

Note: this is different from previous question, since its looking at a problem/diagnosis path, rather power management settings.

 

my son laptiop wifi disconnect after 5 minutes

• 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.

 

uTorrent disconnecting my internet connection

AT&T wasn't much of a help. All they suggested was to replace my router and modem with their products.

The disconnections never happen when I surf the web
