I would try deleting your computer's network connection and adding it back in. I'm not really sure how to do that, because I don't know what type of computer you have. You should also make sure you have the latest device drivers for the computer's ethernet card. I would also try moving the satellite and router so they are closer and/or have fewer walls between them, even if temporarily, to see if that removes the disconnects.

Huge problem occurred, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Ethernet adapter and when I restarted my computer it says that the connection is limited and I can't sign because it is saying "your device is offline. Please sign in with the last password used in this devicd" I have only ever had one password.
Do I can't get into my computer to fix the limited internet problem and I can't fix the limited internet problem by getting into my computer.

That sounds annoying. Stupid Microsoft.
Does your computer have WiFi? If so, you could try to enable WFi then log back in as normal.
If no WiFi, you probably need to follow the steps at this link to disassociate your computer from your microsoft account. You can add it back later.
