What grade is the cable? Does it run directly to the PC, or is there a junction box or patch panel along the path?

Yes, it gives the same error. So does port 3 and 4.

I've tried cables ranging from CAT5e and CAT6.
Thanks!

This is what I was wondering as well. As nothing has changed, hardware of software-wise) between it working properly (2 weeks ago) vs now.
That doesn't quite explain the same errors on the same applications/websites though. As those are quite consistent. Whereas other websites have no issue at all. For example, discord keeps working even though it's also live data with no buffer.

Are you seeing packet loss or poor speeds when you run a speedtest?
