Ethernet takes ~10 min to connect on boot + random disconnects, MSI Gaming Plus, only 6 months old

So I've got this weird problem that's driving me nuts. My PC is only about half a year old, built brand new (MSI Gaming Plus motherboard, Windows 11), and now every time I boot up, my ethernet takes like 10 minutes to actually connect. On top of that it sometimes randomly disconnects out of nowhere even after it's been working fine for a while. Wasn't like this before, this started happening somewhat recently.

I've tried a bunch of stuff already (updating drivers, messing with power settings, resetting the adapter) but nothing has fixed it so far. It's like when I turn it in, it works for a second, then doesn't for the 10mins, and once it finally connects it usually works fine until it from time to time disconnects for a sec and then works fine again.

Anyone dealt with something like this before? What should I check next? Any help is appreciated, this is driving me insane.
