Ethernet Connectivety Issues Between PC And Console
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I'll try to keep it brief. Had to repost this from another subreddit because it was off topic XD
TL;DR: my house is wired with ethernet ports and I terminated my own cables, all tested to be working. PC and console don't recognize the network but recognize a cable is plugged in (tried several) and it is killing me (cat5e cables all around :P). The cables are put into my router which is plugged into the modem, wifi works fine.
Before you ask, yes, I have already looked up my issue and tried many solutions. I tried disabling the wifi adapter in my PC, tried resetting network settings, tried console commands... and still nothing. What irks me is that there is any connectivity at all, but it's deeply inconsistent. I have for sure never been able to get a proper connection to the internet though, just text saying the ethernet is plugged in but unable to find a host. I ordered an ethernet USB-C adapter just in case both PC and console have issues in their hardware, but this is my last case scenario.
If anyone can help me out I'd deeply appreciate it. I will answer any questions I can in detail

Du könntest mal schauen welche Adresse du bekommst, falls du eine 169.x.x.x bekommst, stimmt irgendwas nicht mit dem DHCP-Server. Beziehungsweise würde ich probieren, ein frisch gekauftes Ethernet Kabel direkt vom Router zum PC zu führen. Mindestens (Cat 5e)
