KDE the customization is off the charts

Very helpful and enlightening comment, without this guidance I was lost.

Yes the issue still arises

I no longer have tailscale installed. i uninstalled it thinking that would fix it. I cannot reinstall it now because I can’t cinnect to the internet.

I still am getting somw data transfer it looms like. I can see my upload and down load speed fluctuating. It just shows a yellow triangle by my ethernet icon and says “limited connection”.
