long standing problem with the intel i225 series. I have v.2 in my motherboard...same crap. Internet will be fine for days...or even a couple of months...then nothing. Rebooting almost always fixes it.

Not sure what the crappy intel network chips have to do with ASUS, my motherboard is MSI...but you do you.

FWIW, I've had two Ryzen boards with Realtek chips that did the same thing. Usually a disable/reenable of the onboard ethernet connection fixes it, but a reboot is less thinking.

Some resolutions that worked for some I remember reading last year...

• try a different cable from reputable brand/vendor
• try a different router
• using latest Intel drivers from Intel (29.3.1) not from mobo manufacturer
• disabling some Energy Efficient Ethernet, Green something power savings
• check interwebs for latest NIC oprom/firmware
• check for BIOS update for mobo
• setting the link speed from "auto negotiate" to match your connection supported by the router. e.g. If router is 1Gb select that, if supports 2.5Gb then select that, not auto.

There is like a thousand threads about it on the interweb forums.
