Ethernet Internet Connection Unreliable with Catalina It was no easy task, but I set up my home network so that I would be able to connect via ethernet from my 2nd floor home office even though my modem & router are downstairs. For some reason since updating to Catalina, the LAN connection is extremely unreliable, and more often than not... actually it doesn't seem to be intermittent anymore - it is now always showing a yellow light & says "USB 10/100/1000 LAN has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet". I've tried a number of troubleshooting steps, but none have had any effect. I have an older Mac Mini connected in this same fashion with the exact same settings, the only difference being that the Mini is running High Sierra and doesn't have any problem connecting via ethernet. Any suggestions welcome & appreciated.

I'm not sure where my last post went. I ended up doing a clean install to get everything working again.

I tried reaching out to Nord VPN to troubleshoot before I did that but it was after hours. I needed my laptop to I just did a clean install.

Issue resolved (ish). Kinda upset.

Did you ever try the advice about creating a new Location?

Failing that, go ahead and post the Etrecheck report.

Early on, I deleted all 'remembered' locations. Later, I deleted Wifi, restarted and readded wifi. If readding Wifi is adding a new location, then yes, I've done that.

I'm checking on EtreCheck now.

There seems to be a VPN in play here, based on NEIKEv2Provider.

There’s also some WebKit or Safari bits that are busy.

And in general, remove Flash, unless you really need that.

Ah, thanks. Should probably add “VPN clients” to the usual litany of add-on stuff that breaks other stuff.
