If you are facing issues where you need to unplug and re-plug the Ethernet wire every time you turn on your PC to get online, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to fix this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps to Fix Ethernet Connectivity Issue:​

1. Check the Ethernet Cable: Ensure that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both your PC and the router. Sometimes loose connections can cause connectivity problems.
2. Restart Your PC and Router: Try restarting both your PC and the router. This can help refresh the connection and resolve temporary glitches.
3. Update Network Drivers: Outdated or corrupted network drivers can cause connectivity issues. Update the network drivers on your PC to the latest version.
4. Check Network Adapter Settings:
   • Right-click on the network icon in the system tray and select "Open Network & Internet settings."
   • Click on "Change adapter options."
   • Right-click on your Ethernet connection and select "Properties."
   • Ensure that the settings are configured correctly.
   []Disable Power Management for the Network Adapter:
   • Go to Device Manager (you can search for it in the Start menu).
   • Locate your network adapter under "Network adapters."
   • Right-click on the network adapter, go to "Properties," and disable the option to allow the computer to turn off the device to save power.
   []Check for IP Address Conflict:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Type "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" to release and renew your IP address.
   • Check if this resolves the issue.
   []Reset TCP/IP:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Type the following commands:

      netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset

   • Restart your PC after running these commands.
   []Test with a Different Ethernet Cable: Try using a different Ethernet cable to rule out any issues with the existing cable. []Try a Different Ethernet Port: If possible, connect the Ethernet cable to a different port on your router to see if the issue persists. []Contact Your Internet Service Provider (ISP): If none of the above steps work, there might be a deeper issue related to your ISP or network configuration. Contact your ISP for further assistance. By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of needing to unplug and re-plug the Ethernet wire every time you start your PC to get online.
