I have been trying to fix a recurring ethernet issue that sometimes appears.
As of yesterday it was working fine, I had a stable connection via ethernet cable and through the use of a dongle/wireless chip (although I normally use the ethernet, dongle is just backup) on Windows 10.
This morning I started my computer (it was on sleep) and ethernet was showing that it was connected to an Unidentified Network, and had limited connectivity (which by searching for answers there are a lot of posts regarding the same questions, however all of the solutions posed do not work). However, by connecting to my router with the dongle, it works just fine and I can connect to the internet and browse, (I am not using DHCP on the chip, but I am for the ethernet).
When doing ipconfig, Ethernet Adapter Ethernet does not have a Default gateway assigned to it, but the Wireless LAN adapter wifi does (to the settings which I have put in manually). The autoconfiguration address for the ethernet adapter is also different, showing 169.254.x.x. When I try ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew, renew does nothing after a few minutes, just showing Windows IP Configuration and a blank screen below it in command prompt. ipconfig/flushdns works, but I'm not sure if it's helping with it. I have also done netsh commands as well to no working avail.
I don't understand why it is not working as all of the other computers in my house are able to connect via ethernet, but all of the solutions I have found online do not seem to work thus far. If I try to apply the settings on the dongle to the ethernet settings for ipv4 it says that it'll conflict and as a result neither will work. Is there any other ways I could go about fixing this? I have tried searching a lot of different solutions but none have worked thus far.
