Help! My Ethernet Adapter is Overheating

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a problem with my Ethernet adapter, which seems to be overheating. I'm not sure why this is happening, but it's causing some serious issues with my internet connection. I've tried unplugging the adapter and letting it cool down, but the problem persists.

I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm hoping some of you can offer some advice. What could be causing my Ethernet adapter to overheat? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Do I need to replace it altogether?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
