I have an Acer Swift3 SF316-51
Can't find any USBC to ethernet adapter that will work over time, nor USB3.0 to ethernet adapter.
Both disconnect after 1 min to 5 hours, then it appears that the machine does not recognize the device. I have tried many brands and none of them work.
Anyone have any good suggestions for my problem?

    The USB-2-RJ45 adapters should be USBA3.2 Gen1 or USBC3.2 Gen2 ThunderBolt4 certified. If not, they may not work reliably or at all.
