Internet stops working on macOS 12.3.1 on MacBook Pro with M1 Apple processor

Any input on why the internet fails now and then on my new MacBook Pro running macOS 12.3.1 and with an Apple M1 processor??? I find that when it happens if I restart the computer it works again for maybe the next full day or so... Then it quits again... Any input on why and how to fix???

You can try a safeboot to clear system cache files. etc as a trouble shooting exercise and compare your results:

Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
