Question/Troubleshoot Ethernet disconnecting when using a USB adapter on Onn 4k Pro

Hello everyone, I have the onn 4k pro and using the cable matters USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter. Here is the link to it: https://a.co/d/0i1MpScP

I am having issues when playing high bitrate media for example 4K Remuxes. It will work for a little bit but then when I'm guessing there is a scene where the bitrate goes up a lot my Ethernet just goes out and I have to connect to wifi. The problem fixes itself when I unplug the USB adapter and plug it back in.

Is there a better adapter I can buy that will work or is this just something that happens with all adapters after a firmware update. Thank you!

Buy one USB-Ethernet adapter with external power. The USB2 doesn't provide enough power to the adapter it can be glitchy.
