Mac mini M1 Network Connectivity Issues

I've had my M1 Mac mini for about 3 weeks now and only within the last two days has a problem occurred where I lose all network connectivity (twice now). My VPN connection drops, and I lose internet service via both my Thunderbolt 3 dock (ethernet) as well as connectivity to my wifi network.

A restart restores network connections.

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

How to resolve no network connectivity after waking up from sleep? My MacBook Pro M1 Max has no Ethernet network connectivity after waking up from sleep. The Ethernet connects to my Caldigit TS4 dock. I tried disconnect the USB-C cable from the TS4 and reconnect but there is no change. I tried reconnect the Ethernet cable to the TS4 dock and there is no change. I tried turned off and on the TS4 and still not luck. The WiFi works though. The only way to regain Ethernet connectivity is restart the MBP. What else should I try to resolve this issue?

Why does my M1 Mac Mini keep losing sight of all wireless networks? As of a week (or so) ago, the internet connection on my M1 Mac Mini started dropping. Looking into the issue, it appears when this happens, my Mac not only loses its wireless connection, but also visibility to all wireless networks in range. Restarting or turning wifi off and on temporarily resolves the issue, but it seems to come back after a few hours. Does anyone know a fix to stop this from happening? I've already checked to ensure the OS is up to date.

I use Apple's built-in VPN to connect to remote office server for WFH. Had been working fine during the three weeks leading up to the last couple days.

From what you've said it sounds like a VPN issue.

Have you tried it without using the VPN?

Which VPN are you using?
