If you are still getting an issue after replacing your Ethernet cable, then consider a wireless connection. In that case, ensure that your TP Link repeater is getting solid and steady internet signals. If not, then try relocating your TP Link repeater close to your home router to avoid any connection loss issues.
Update TP Link Repeater Firmware
