I've been facing a frustrating issue with my Ethernet connection. My setup includes an Ethernet cable and an extender box, both of which seem to work fine. However, my PC connects to the internet then drops the connection every 20-30 seconds, leaving me without any internet access. I'm happy to share a video if that would help diagnose the problem. Any suggestions?

Have you ruled out the Ethernet cable as the issue? It might help to test it with a different computer to see if the problem persists. Also, if possible, try using a different Ethernet port on your extender.
Just out of curiosity, what exactly is an "extender box"? I want to understand your setup better before diving in with suggestions!
It sounds like you might have an issue with your network interface card (NIC) drivers. This kind of disconnect problem often relates to incorrect or outdated drivers. You should check if you have the right ones installed. Let me know if you need help with that!
How would I go about checking that?
I've actually tested it with six different Ethernet cables at both ends, so I don't think it's that.
