Connection drops occasionally every short interval
Connection drops occasionally every short interval
Looking for driver updates. It seems the network driver might be faulty or the adapter could be damaged. I'll try the driver first, as it often resolves such problems. Also, test the same Ethernet cable on other devices to confirm it's functioning properly.
If I were you, I’d try a live CD of Linux to confirm it’s not a Windows problem. Windows 10 can be unpredictable. Sometimes after rebooting, my network card stops working and I have to restart again. If that doesn’t work, get a new card—just make sure it’s a Gigabit model, since Intel makes solid ones.
Typically the process involves checking cables, switching ports on the router or switch, updating software drivers or the operating system, and finally using a physical adapter. A live CD of Ubuntu can assist in identifying the software issue.
I tried it on another PC and it functioned smoothly, without any issues. I’m planning to switch to LiveCD soon. I’ll be using a fresh cable then.
