Wow, I am in Switzerland (south pole I suppose) and I was able to order from their site 😂
Got a tip for us?

search for RTL8156B or RTL8157 on amazon.de and any of those should work fine for your purposes. See post #22 above for more details on how to verify if it is working properly or not. Personally I haven't tested a device with an 8157 chip but I have tested multiple 8156B chip based devices.
BTW -- Can you do the following with your existing ethernet and share what you see. On your mac click on top left Apple Icon | About this Mac | More Info | System Report | Ethernet and share the Vendor Name, Product Name, Product ID, Driver, Max Link Speed that you have. Thx
Sure.
By the way I just ordered D-Link DUB-E250 which is an adapter that is suggested in this forum.

That D-Link adaptor should be fine as I had it on my list from this post
Thx for sharing your sysinfo for existing ethernet. Def the reaosn you having issues / drops outs is because your current Belkin adaptor is based on the 8153 chipset (not good on Apple Silicon macs when I last looked. For more details see this post). Also you are using the ECM driver (CPU loading) vs the NCM driver (cpu off loaded - better). For more details on ECM vs NCM also see this post. When you get your new DLINK in hopefully all good. Best wishes.

I suppose that the random appearance of the problems are because of the heat of the device.
They are too random to think of something else.

By the way everyone should first check the wireless connection when there are wired connection packet losses, because even after changing to a d-link usb-c to ethernet adapter there are still sometimes that there are connection problems with the local modem/router and the problems are there even if you turn on the wireless connection.
Only a restart fixes things, and this shows that it is a matter of the operating system.
