I've been using my ethernet connection without any issues, but it stopped working after my PC went into sleep mode. When I turned it back on, the ethernet shows it's connected, but I can't access the internet. I checked the cable and router by testing them with my Xbox, and they're fine. I've spent about an hour troubleshooting but haven't found a solution. Does anyone have suggestions?

Have you tried a complete shutdown of your PC and then turning off the PSU switch? Let it sit for a bit to drain the power completely before restarting. Also, consider uninstalling your ethernet adapter in the device manager and reinstalling it. Don’t forget to check if your ethernet drivers are updated from your motherboard's support page too!

I’ve already got the latest drivers from the motherboard’s support site. I've also uninstalled the ethernet adapter several times and shut down the PC to drain power, but nothing has worked.
