Internet via ethernet stopped suddenly working

Hey,

So yesterday my internet stopped working (ethernet) completely, it doesn't connect at all which is weird since nothing has changed about the router or the Internet itself. It just suddenly stopped working last night. I didn't mind since I was going to sleep anyway but when I woke up this morning the problem was still here. I've been googling this for several hours now but nothing seems to have worked. It says "Network cable unplugged" on the Network connections page.

I have of course restarted my PC and the router itself but nothing changed. I haven't tested another ethernet cable because I don't even have a spare cable atm and it's an real pain to even test it. (I find it hard to believe that the current cable would out of nowhere be broken)

So what next? I really have no clue what do now so I would be grateful if some of you could help :)

Are you working off a laptop or a desktop? In either case, make sure you're on the latest BIOS update. Then uninstall and reinstall your Ethernet ports drivers and see if the Ethernet port regains functionality. You might also want to try a different networking cable.
