Some people prefer <\/span>wired Ethernet connection over wireless connection<\/span><\/a> since <\/span>Wi-Fi is less stable<\/span><\/a>, and its volatile radio waves can easily get disrupted. However, wired <\/span>Ethernet connection has its own fair share of issues<\/span><\/a>. Sometimes, you do find your Ethernet keeps disconnecting from time to time. <\/span><\/p>\n There are a number of reasons why that happens. We have done comprehensive research and come up with some possible causes and ways to fix them.

They can be defective at first use or get damaged or broken over time. If you suspect your Ethernet cable is causing the fault, try to connect to other <\/span>ethernet ports<\/span><\/a> if your computer has them. If your internet connection is okay when used with another port, that shows the last port is faulty, or there could be dirt, dust, or other debris in it.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended reading: <\/strong>Ethernet Stuck On Identifying (Basic Troubleshooting)<\/a><\/p>\n Another method to check if the cable is working is by using it on a different device. If it works on another device, there could be some software problems with your computer. Try other methods in the following sections. <\/span><\/p>\n Windows Network Troubleshooter can help you detect the error and provide the solution.

Follow these steps to check if the Power Management setting allows for automatic power savings:<\/span><\/p>\n Once you finish with the steps, restart your computer and find out if your Ethernet connection is working properly.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If none of the above is working, you can try resetting your network. These are the steps to reset the Network:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using a static or fixed IP address gives you some benefits such as convenience in working remotely, for instance, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). In addition, it provides a more reliable, helpful communication for teleconferencing or other video transmissions. <\/span><\/p>\n However, having a fixed <\/span>IP<\/span><\/a> could also result in <\/span>problems with the Ethernet connection<\/span><\/a> on your computer. You could be utilizing the erroneous static IP address. You may take the following steps to rectify the problem of disconnecting Ethernet:<\/span><\/p>\n Your Ethernet adapter has a driver, and you need to ensure the driver is working fine and is updated regularly.

A router usually comes with firmware, and for a small fee, you’ll regularly get the firmware updated to the latest version. However, users don’t bother about the subscription in many cases and ignore the firmware updates. We recommend you <\/span>go to the router’s settings and check for updates manually<\/span><\/a>.
