Internet connection dropped after using it for an hour or more

[Franken7]

I am posting this under "Newbie questions" because, although I've using Linux for about ten years, I was never proficient in using the command line or installing "standalone" packages.

My internet connection will drop after using it for an hour or more. In the past, I've used Ubuntu, AntiX, Debian, and MX Linux.  I've had this problem with all of the Debian based distros.

I'm using a Dell Latitude D630 with 8GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD.  I use the Ethernet connection because its 3X faster than the built-in WIFI.

The temporary solution is re-booting when the connection is dropped.  However, it's annoying if I'm in the middle of something and I have to start over.

Where do I begin to solve this issue?  Thanks!
