    On the PS5, this is most often fixed by doing these two things in sequence:

    1. Update Console System Software in Safe Boot Mode
    2. Rebuild PS5 Database & Clear System Software Cache

    There is a helpful article here about this exact problem on PS5 and the detailed steps and screenshots on how to go through to fix it:

    In very unfortunate circumstances, then a corruption appears in the system software code area on your PS5 boot drive.  And this can then cause this unfortunate error situation where it keeps toggling between LAN cable connected/LAN cable disconnected.

    Yes, it can of course also be because of other issues, but suggest you try first step 1 and 2 above, to see if that would solve it for you.  Otherwise proceed with the next options as described in the article.

    Best of luck with it!
