1) Verify that Ethernet is prioritized.
However, the problem(s) may reside in the ARP tables that keep track of devices by their respective MACs and DHCP or Static IP addresses.
The concern being that there will be confusion because the network adapters' (wired or wireless) MACs keep changing.
FYI
Start here and google for more information as necessary as you read and learn:

2) Yes: set the DNS servers to Google at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
3) Disable IPv6 - it can be problematic. Perhaps all the more so if the MACs are changing.
And remember that it make take some time for the network devices to all get "caught up" on who is who....
Clearing /flushing the ARP caches may help.

Again, if unsure about what to do then search for more explanations and tutorials.
Note: No need to download any applications or utilities claiming to do clear caches etc.. They may do so but who knows what else they may be doing....

I don't use any antivirus or malware firewall software.

No, the PC I built in 2019. I might have made mistakes, but it has kept running smoothly so far.
I've also faced similar issues, yet nothing happened.

Thank you, I completed everything and there was no alteration.
I’ll just bring it to a nearby repair shop to check if it’s a motherboard problem now.
Appreciate all your responses.
