My Ethernet connection was working but it stopped recently. I’ve checked the hardware and it shows the orange light by the cable and everything is plugged in correctly. I also looked at https://discovery.endeavouros.com/network/r8168-workaround/2021/03/ and Network not detecting wired ethernet And when I use r8168 it sends back bytes when I do “ping www.google.com” but not if I do it again and it it will not load anything in a web browser.

can you test your internet with a live system?

The Ethernet works in a live boot wether I use r8168 or r8169.
After I booted into the usb it just works now, I didn’t install a new one and it works well after multiple reboots I don’t know how or why.
