I experience intermittent internet drops every few days on my PC connected through Ethernet to the router. Even when losing connection, I still get Wi-Fi access from my phone and Fire Stick. To fix it, I simply unplug the Ethernet cable for a short time and reconnect. The connection usually comes back quickly. I've tested various cables and router ports without success. It seems the issue happens regardless of activity—whether I'm gaming, working, or streaming. My setup includes a Gigabyte AB-350 Gaming 3 board, a Nighthawk R6700 router, and a Spectrum modem (Hitron E31N2V1). Currently, the problem isn't severe, but it's causing concern since it could indicate a developing issue. As I work from home, I'd prefer to replace it now rather than face delays in my workflow.
