Possibly the same issue, but there can be various reasons for a particular set of synmptoms.
To start with, what about the suggestion from ArodiD?
Rule that out before moving on to other possibilities.

If you need to use ethernet port, please go to Power Manager and set the Power Profile as Performance or use the device without battery.
When device is in Performance mode, Ethernet speed is set as 1Gbps. When it is operated in no battery operation mode, the port is set as 2.5Gbps.
Thanks
