Ethernet port required

[marinersfan]

Evening.
I have an Asus b760 board which likes to randomly disconnect the 2.5gigabit ethernet periodically. Which has slowly ****** me off.

Apparently it's "a thing" according to the internet. I've spent ages trying things that haven't worked.

I have 900mb broadband but have frequently got above 1gigabit.

My pc is in a small case so I've no room for a network card as it would block the fans on my GPU.

Can anyone recommend a solution?

danke schön.

Would a usb to Ethernet adapter work - 3.0 I believe is rated upto 1gig? Quick Google seems to suggest so but obviously hold off for more knowledgeable replies.

You can get a 2.5g usb ethernet adapter for around £10

I use two USBC-E2500 from Plugable with my laptops and they've been excellent.

I've used a variety of USB-A and USB-C to ethernet adapters over the years and all have worked perfectly on both windows and Apple laptops. One downside is that they generally don't support Wake On Lan, but not many people would use that feature anyway.
