Ethernet Continues Disconnecting

My Ethernet continuously disconnects from my PC, I hadn’t been using Ethernet until around a month ago at the latest. seemingly at random, my Internet will just stop having a stable connection, it will fluctuate between being connected, and not, but fails to establish enough of a connection for me to do much more than a google search. After about 5 minutes, it seems to decide it’s done all together and stop being connected outright. I have looked over several tutorials online as well as tried looking through other posts that seemed to have a similar issue, but the only thing that works is performing a Network Reset from the “Network & Internet” tab of my settings, but even that is temporary since I’ve been having to do that every day for a week with it always returning the next day. Although that does mean I have a solution, I assume this is not a good sign and working with hacky solutions will only expedite any problem that may be the underlying issue.

When it is in the state described, my Network Status flips between “No Internet access
Your device is connected, but you might not be able to access anything on the network. If you have a limited data plan, you can make this network a metered connection or change other properties.” And “Not connected
You aren't connected to any networks.” (Switching between the two about every 5-15 seconds)

The computer is about 5.5 years old, 32 GB Installed RAM, 3.60 GHZ Processor, and the Ethernet cord I usually use is 35 feet (I also tried a 25 foot cord, but that also didn’t work).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
