ETHERNET connection occasionaly drops

Roku ultra connected with Ethernet and works fine for days or even weeks and suddenly will drop Ethernet connection.  Says Ethernet can't be found.  I can reboot Roku and it will find ethernet again (or I can connect via wifi).  Why???

Re: ETHERNET connection occasionaly drops

My first suggestion is to check the Ethernet cable you are using. Perhaps swap it with another cable. The wires within the cable are very small and can be broken with movement, and you'd never be able to tell from looking at it. There are eight wires within that cable, and a break in any one of them can cause connection issues.
