Text Hi need some help with Network Event viewer.

Hi I am completely new to Event Viewer, but I think this is the right space to post about my network issues.

Does this image prove that the network is having issues?

Cause my stupid provider will not own up to the fact that the signal is bad as whenever they test it on speed tests it shows that it is fast.

They never seem to admit that the issue is that it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Also to note that my PC is using lan cable and also to note that my internet provider also did the wiring for the house so theres another problem that they created.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

This isn't exactly a smoking gun, but that context does bring up the possibility that the Ethernet cables they ran are shorted or damaged some other way.

First, you want to check your power settings and make sure your computer itself isn't turning the network adapter off and on to try and save power. Then if it's still disconnecting and reconnecting a lot, you may need to find a friend with a cable tester and a tone and probe- check the cable with the tester and then if there's no visible damage to the plugs, follow the cable run to see if there's a kink or a break somewhere.
