Hello, I am having a really bad and annoying problem. The other day me and a friend were playing csgo when he started to lag and got offline. Then the same thing happened to me. The same thing happened to us, the Internet on the computer wouldn't work but the WiFi worked perfectly. So now when I turn on my computer I have internet only for a few minutes then it disconnects, but the weird thing is that if I disconnect the ethernet and plug it back in. I get my Internet back again for a few minutes, It's really annoying. I don't think it's my ethernet because I've tried another and the same thing keeps happening. If anyone out there can help me, that would be great. THANKS

Again.... the recommended troubleshooting step is:

a) Turn off WiFi in Device Manager when running Ethernet
b) Turn off Ethernet in Device Manager when running WiFi

Also rebooting your modem / router may not be effective if ** any** connected devices are still on the network and retaining their IP addresses.

After those are out of the way, we can try something else.

I already tried rebooting my modem, restarted my computer. Only WiFi is stable but I only get interest for a few minutes on my desktop computer
