Network Cycling?

I bought my series X almost a year ago and have connected to wifi the entire time. A week ago I attempted to connect via Ethernet and that is where the fun begins.

Console does not recognize a cable is plugged in at all. I know the cable is good because I tested it on my tv perfectly. I decided to reset my console thinking that whatever was rendering my ethernet port inoperable would be alleviated and, if not, could always fall back on the wifi connection. I was wrong. Not only did the reset NOT solve the ethernet port issue, but also has the wireless messed up. I connect to the network and about 20 sec later it disconnects for about 7-10 sec before reconnecting. The cycle is unending.

Trying to get tech support is impossible it seems. I either get a "Contact us for this issue" loop, get referred to a fellow gamer for support - first, my fellow gamer is going to, in my experience, just copy and paste "solutions" and tell me to just send it in if these don't work. didn't even try to figure out any details. The fellow gamer option is **** anyway. They just want to play games not do Microsofts job for them.

Trying to start a service request also throws me into a loop and my warranty expires in like 2 weeks.
