Why isn’t my Ethernet cable working on my PC?
Plug the Ethernet Cable into a Different Port
If it’s been a minute and it still isn’t working, try plugging the cable into another port on the router. If this works, it means your router is faulty and it might be time for you to replace it. If that still doesn’t work, you can try swapping your ethernet cables.
