Hey everyone. My internet has been dropping every time I power on my desktop PC from boot. It usually takes a few minutes to get back online, but it used to work fine when I first set everything up about a month ago. I haven’t adjusted any network settings—it just disconnects automatically and needs 1-2 minutes to reconnect. Anyone have any ideas or solutions? I’m using a wired Cat6 cable connected directly to my router, which in turn links to the main modem via another Cat6 connection.

It could reset itself without warning, either right when you start or occasionally during normal use.

At startup, the system initializes properly.

Identified the problem. ExpressVPN appears to interfere with my Ethernet connection when it starts up. Removing the automatic VPN join feature during startup resolves the issue. I'm reaching out to ExpressVPN for a solution now.
