Hi, i have problem with stability of ethernet connection - from the PC perspective i'm physically losing connection.

 

What exactly happens:

I'm getting disconnected from router (not from internet, from router - can't even access default gateway).

Usually it lasts +/- 1s, but can happen few times in a row. 

These reconnections usually happens for few minutes then stop for some time (2h ~ 12h).

I don't remember even one occurrence of this on Wi-Fi.

 

What i tried:

Changed cabled → nothing changed

Updated Realtek Driver (to version from producent site) → nothing changed

Updated router firmware → nothing changed

Turned off all energy-saving settings in driver → nothing changed

Tested on other PC (using other cable) → Same problem as on my own PC

 

Some of my settings:

Internet Connection Type: PPPoE (optical fiber)

Online Duration: 2 days 4 hours 7 minutes (didn't disconnect)

UPnP: On

Firewall: On

ALG: Off

Almost everyhing else: Off

Best approach regarding the cable is to use the one included in the router kit or a good quality factory made CAT 5E cable.

It seem like a faulty cable or a faulty router LAN port. Did you check to connect your PC to another LAN port and test the stability.

In case of a faulty port you should contact your local support for further assistance.

I'm using some old cables right now but i tested it on new CAT 8 (1m) and still did happen. And ofc i tried switching just ports. Right now 2 PCs are connected (with 2 different cables and ports) but still the same happens for both PCs. The most weird thing is "when" this happens. I can use internet for whole day and nothing - i'm usually connected to VPN while working, which disconnects when my connection to internet fails and it can be running for hours and nothing, then for few minutes i can't use ethernet at all, because its non stop reconnecting.
