Hi, I noticed similar issues with the Asus B550-F gaming Wi-Fi and Intel I225-V Ethernet card. After switching to a TP Link 2.5G Ethernet Card, the same random disconnections occurred. The problem happens whenever I play any game—whether it's Minecraft, RuneScape, Valorant, Overwatch or others. It usually lasts a few seconds before reconnecting automatically. Turning off Wi-Fi makes it worse because it takes a while to get back online. Interestingly, once the PC has been running games for a short time, the issue disappears and I can stay connected without trouble. There are no logs in Event Viewer showing these drops either. This pattern is really confusing—I need some guidance on what might be causing this.

Tell me about your network configuration. What is your modem and router model? Are there any switches along the way? How far apart are your devices from the router? Have you upgraded to a different cable?

I possess the spectrum data but no separate router—just an Asus RT-AX68U dedicated to the line. The connection runs roughly 10 to 20 feet, and I've already switched cables without improvement.

It seems like the issue might be with the router, its overheating, or the device itself. You've already checked other ports and are considering a backup drive to test Windows installation.

Interesting fact, I tried the same thing and the Windows 11 issue persisted. I had to re-download and reinstall the Ethernet drivers from Intel and Asus before using the TP Link Card.

That's quite intriguing. It seems like the issue might be related to the router itself, especially since bypassing the onboard settings didn't resolve it even after a fresh setup.

Consider adjusting the router configuration to prioritize traffic using QoS or Quality of Service features, and try designating your device as primary. Assigning a static IP address could also improve stability.

It seems like you're checking if the system is using the latest BIOS version. Would you like guidance on how to verify or update it?

Apologies for the delayed response, but all updates I could make are now complete.
