My internet keeps cutting out right when I'm playing games on my computer.
Here is your internet connection stopping when you are playing games over ethernet. This only happens sometimes, like one or two seconds at a time. It does not happen on Wi-Fi and it also doesn't happen when I am just watching streams online. Nothing shows up in my computer that says the ethernet cable has been cut off while this is going on. The machine is basically new but things started breaking down recently without any clear reason. My network adapter is a Realtek Gaming 2.5gbe Family Controller. The motherboard is an Asus Prime Z590-P Wi-Fi. I have already tried some things to fix it: I checked that only my PC on the network is having this problem and I know for sure it's not the ethernet cable or router. I cleared out all my files, which didn't help. I also made sure nothing in my antivirus software or Windows Defender was stopping me from using my internet. I'm pretty certain it isn't a DNS problem either. I tried updating my drivers for my Ethernet Adapter and even manually installing the newest Realtek driver that came with the box. I changed some Power Management settings on the Ethernet adapter, too. And I looked at other instructions online to see if changing something else would help. Sadly, nothing has worked yet which is really frustrating because it used to work fine a week ago and I can't see any reason why it started suddenly like this. Do you have an idea what could be causing this? Or do you have some tips on how I should better troubleshoot the issue?
I'd check the internet explorer for any network problems back then. The easy way to start is opening a command line and typing a keep-ping command while it's connected to my router address. This will tell me fast if I'm losing the connection or if it's something harder to fix.
