Ethernet not detected/not working

So I've been trying to get this issue fixed for a little over a week now, but as the title might suggest I'm having trouble getting my ethernet cable to recognize it's hooked into my computer. When going into the troubleshooter

I've done a number of things recommended online, including disabling/uninstalling my network adapters and reinstalling them, but haven't had any luck in that. I've also checked the cable with another device to make sure it's not the cable or the port in the wall that's faulty and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. I even called the ISP to check if they had any idea what could possibly be the issue and there wasn't anything that they could do as well.

I'd really like to stream and overall just get more reliable connection but I'm kind of out of things to do that I've tried already. If anybody has any advice/suggestions that'd be much appreciated

Sounds like your Ethernet port is busted in your motherboard.

this might seem silly but i recently got a usb-c to ethernet adapter and it didn't work until i restarted the computer with the adapter and cord plugged in

I think this might be the case as well :/

Everything else on my mobo seems to work fine. I was also looking up alternative options earlier today and saw that there were PCI-e network cards and ethernet to USB devices that I could get. Anybody have a recommendation as to which I should get, and if there are any specific devices that I should stay away from?
