As the title says, My internet isn't connecting via ethernet for around 30 seconds after the PC first boots. It's not a major issue, more of an annoyance as any apps that need the internet for updates etc on first boot throw out error messages.
I've tried a different cable, updating and reinstalling ethernet drivers, tried a laptop, tried another pc, all have the same issues which leads me to believe its a router/configuration problem on the router end.
Any help would be appreciated

@Invi That’s how PCs work it needs time to make that connection as the PC is still starting up.

Try a static IP and DNS?

With my Virgin media connection it connects straight away, there's no wait time, so that is untrue.

I have tried this and no success

It could very well take 30 secs for a router to come fully online after a reboot of it but once it's online a PC should be able to connect to it within secs of its OS being loaded.

The router isn't being rebooted, just the PC, however it takes the PC/Router a bout 30 seconds to recognise each other and give internet access

I was just pointing out that such a start-up timing might apply to a router but shouldn't to a PC. My Ethernet connected Windows PC once it has passed the BIOS load (whatever it's called) shows it's Ethernet connected to router more or less immediately on the initial Login screen (with the Monitor icon).

Still no luck, tried everything that I can think of at this point
