SOLVED Limited Connectivty?

[Prodigous]

Alright so the issue I'm having is that at random points my internet would just... Die. I would troubleshoot it and it would say "resetting ethernet cable" and then I would have to plug the ethernet cable back into my router again. This has been since I've upgraded to Win 10 and its starting to happen more often. Would appreciate if anybody has a fix! Also sometimes plugging the ethernet back didnt work so I had to restart the computer, then go into my settings and re-enable the ethernet myself.

I used to have that problem after I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I suggest reinstalling the ethernet cable adapter.

Agreed.
Re-install the driver for your NIC.
If it's integrated onto the mother board, first try your motherboard or computer manufacturer's website for the latest driver.
Failing that
Determine the chipset (Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom, etc.,) and use the specific device manufacturer's website to obtain the latest driver.

Exactly how do I reinstall the ethernet driver?
I have a Broadcam Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet

When I clicked update driver it said it was up to date so idk.
