Oh boy it's another Ethernet problem!
Seriously though I have tried everything advised: updated drivers and windows, ran troubleshooter, full virus scan and malwarebytes, turned off and on again, disabled power saving features, got new cables (twice), changed modem ports, etc.
Here's the kicker: I share a modem with my flatmate, both of us are wired directly into the modem (no wireless setup here), and he has no problems whatsoever. It's completely baffling!
I have a suspicion that my pc components aren't playing nicely with each other and won't tell me. I built this pc back in mid 2018 but it seems to have started when I installed Windows 10? Not entirely certain if this is correlation or causation.
I really like my build and Windows 10 but it's become bothersome gaming with friends and losing connection randomly and it's always on my end.
System:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
Prime A320M-A Mobo
Windows 10 Pro
Radeon RX 580
16 GB Ram
HD, 2 SSDs, wireless mouse (not the source, problem started before I acquired it), accessories
I was using a Cat 6 cable now a Cat 7 cable (overkill, I know)
Xfinity internet 100 mbps
Currently the modem is connected to 2 computers, a smart tv, and a Switch though it doesn't seem relevant since my computer is the only one that has this problem.
Apologies if this has already been fixed elsewhere. If so, could you point me in that direction? Thanks!
