I've run into an issue where my Ethernet connection stopped working on my PC. The status icon shows 'No Internet', yet it indicates that the Ethernet is connected. I know the cable is fine because it works with my switch. My Wi-Fi is working, but since my router is on the other side of the house, I really need the Ethernet for a stable connection. This problem started after I updated my Flint 3 router. Could that be related? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can try resetting your network settings using Command Prompt. Run these commands as an admin: `netsh winsock reset`, `ipconfig /flushdns`, `ipconfig /release`, and `ipconfig /renew`. See if that helps!
Make sure to check if your network driver needs an update. If you can connect via Wi-Fi, you can access the device manager and update the drivers there. Alternatively, if a new driver was just installed, it could be worth rolling it back to see if that solves the issue.
Your network card might be outdated or having issues recognizing the connection. It may not be able to see the Ethernet link properly, so checking for updates or a possible replacement could help.
If other devices can connect just fine, the issue likely isn't with your router but rather with your PC. You might want to try a network reset in Windows 11, which can often clear up persistent issues.
