Hello everyone. So I built a new pc from scratch, everything works perfectly, but the only issue is that every now and then I lose internet connection to my pc (it is connected via cable and not wirelessly). And according to the troubleshooter this message pops up: "The default gateway is not available". After that, it automatically resets the ethernet adapter and the problem is fixed.
The motherboard is the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2

The solution I've tried but to no avail:
1)Reset the TCP/IP Stack (through cmd)
2)Disabling and enabling the network adapter
3)Updating the netowrk adapter drivers
4)Disabling the save power option that turns off some devices
5)Reseting the router to factory settings (Did not do that myself)

Is there a permanent solution to this problem?

Replace the cable is the first thing. Get a 100% copper Cat5e or Cat6a round cable. No flat cables or anything "better" than 6a.

Hello again. Thanks for the suggestion. I think this solved the problem. Since I swapped the cable, it only happened once.
