My wired Internet on my PC randomly disconnects.  I can pick up my iPhone and it works just fine using WiFi.  What is wrong?

The only suggestion I can offer would be to update the Realtek ethernet adapter driver to the latest version on the Realtek website:

 

You want the 2nd one on the list under the Windows drivers section.

 

Win10/Win11 Auto Installation Program (NDIS)

 

Realtek PCIe 1G / 2.5G / 5G / 10G Ethernet Family Controller Software

Thanks but I checked to make sure everything was updated before I posted the question. Every driver is up to date. I’m baffled!

You're very welcome.

 

If you also unchecked the box for the option to 'Turn off power saving' in the device manager for the Realtek Wi-Fi adapter, if you have not done so already, you may want to consider replacing the ethernet cable.
