When the issue began

A week ago

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

N/A

Description of problem

Whenever I use my computer, it can either run with no problems for hours or have the LAN cable stop working. I can't access the router web interface and I can't connect to the Internet. However, when I remove the cable from the port and then re-insert it in any port(even the same one), it works. Also rebooting the router does the same thing.

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Nothing I've seen, it just comes up.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

Rebooting the router, resetting it, changing the cable, changing the port it goes into.
