Wired Ethernet on my Chromebook disconnects every 10 minutes despite stable Wi-Fi

I've been using a Chromebook for remote work, connected via a wired Ethernet adapter since my Wi-Fi is spotty in this part of the house. The setup used to be rock solid, but recently the Ethernet connection drops every 10 minutes or so, forcing me to unplug and replug the adapter. Meanwhile, Wi-Fi stays connected and stable if I switch back to it. I tried swapping the Ethernet cable and even tested the adapter on another device - both seem fine there. I updated the Chromebook OS to the latest version too, but the issue persists. I want to stick with wired for better speed and stability but it's just unusable like this. Has anyone seen their Chromebook act up like this with Ethernet adapters? Are there any hidden settings or power management quirks I should check? Could this be a hardware fault on the Chromebook side or something fixable in software?
