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.

 

[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

 

Plug in ethernet and wireless internet dies....?

That's the only way to do it. Unplug the ethernet cable, turn sharing on for your wireless connection (not the ethernet one). Then you should plug the ethernet cable into your router's internet port and the other end into your laptop, then plug in your computer. The only reason that would not work is a bad setting somewhere. Try that and get back to me. What is the error that comes up? Something about 192.168.0.1 already being on the network?
