Connection Issues

[Jerequan 0]

I have emby installed on my windows 10 gaming machine. It's always worked fine for the most part with little need to change much of anything. However, for the past year or so the internet connection on my pc drops when playing content anywhere around the house after an hour or so (sometimes sooner/sometimes longer). Although less frequent, this happens from time to time without playing content and when just browsing on the pc as well. I'm fairly certain it isn't a network issue because when these drops occur, the other devices on the network are still connected. Replaced an Ethernet cable, messed around with some windows adapter settings, and ran some virus and malware scans.. Still no luck. Is this an issue that could be verified or fixed by taking a look at the logs? I am lost and beginning to use the service less and less. I'm about ready to move the server to a new a device and see if the drops continue. Any other suggestions and help would be appreciated. I feel like there are probably a million threads about this same type of issue so I apologize if there is a better place for it.

Almost sounds like a power management setting, but can say I have never experience this behavior but configured to be on 24/7.

Also, the issue never results in a reconnect. I have to manually go to the windows network troubleshooter where is does a "reset" of the adapter to re-stablish my internet connection. As for power management.. Couple weeks ago I went into "device manager" and then clicked network adapter dropdown, right clicked my adapter, then power management, and finally unticked "allow computer to turn off this device to save power." Still having this issue weeks later

This almost sounds like failing hardware or a thermal issue to me.

What I'd suggest is picking up a $10 to $12 USB3 to Ethernet dongle off Amazon and testing with that.
