PC loses internet randomly - help needed to troubleshoot
I have this setup at home:
ISP Modem/Router (in bridge mode) - Asus RT-AX86U (router) - Ethernet Cable (approx 3m/10ft) - Desktop PC (Win10)
During the last couple of weeks my PC has started to lose internet connection. The problem disappears after a reboot.
It has happened 6-7 times now - apparently randomly.
The connection can be lost while idle or while surfing.
Only my PC loses internet (only one connected to the Asus router by ethernet). WiFi still works and internet is accessible by other devices.
I have tried to run the network troubleshooting utility in Win 10 the last two times it happened.
First time it reported a problem with DNS.
Second time (today) it reported no ethernet cable! I haven't touched the cable in at least 6 weeks.
Today i decided to do a network reset in Win 10.
Logs in the Asus router do not show anything at the time when internet is lost
System log in windows does not show anything. But perhaps i am not looking in the right place.
Is there anything i can do to narrow down the cause of this problem? Specific logs to look at?
