Sometimes, when I boot up my PC, I get the yellow warning icon on the network adapter icon in the trey.

I've tried switching cables but the issue persists.

This only happens on my PC (other wired ones work fine) since I changed ISP (from non-fiber to fiber).

The only way I can get internet access again is by either re-plugging the internet cable or by disabling and re-enabling the network adapter.

Realtek Network driver is allegedly up to date.

Hi SirJ0K3R,

Assuming you are running Windows 10, a great spot to start is by doing a network reset. This can be found simply by searching "network reset" in the start menu and running it from there. What it will do is reinstall all your network drivers and put it back to the factory defaults. I have found this to fix many network issues similar to yours.

Thanks for the reply.
I have reset the network as you told me to but it still happened.
A couple days ago I installed an "EasyFix" from Microsoft for prioritizing IPv4 over IPv6 and the issue was gone for quite some time, only now it happened again.
I have absolutely no idea what can be causing this.
The only thing that I changed on this network was its name via "secpol.msc"
