Ethernet cable no longer working?

I live in an apartment where the building has wifi for us to use. There are 16 apartments in the building. The thing is anyone that uses the internet, they use the wifi. I'm the only one here who bought a very long ethernet cable so that i connected the ethernet cable to one of the routers. There are 2 routers.

I have a laptop.

Most people in the building have problems with the wifi and when i connect wifi, it usually isn't that good. There are 2 connections. One is wifi connection A and other is B. Connection B is never reliable... either you can't connect or if it connects, it isn't good. However I'm wired to the router in connection B via ethernet. So everytime i open laptop, its on wifi but i then disconnect it then i see a computer in the bottom right of my computer screen which means its wired connection and thus very reliable and fast. My ethernet cable is 50 feet.

I been using the wired connection for many months now with no issue. Today, i cannot connect to the internet wired. I disconnected it from the wifi connection but then it shows no connection, doesn't have the computer logo at all.

I then went to google and check and typed cmd and says Media disconnected. Does anyone know if theres a way to see if it suddenly stopped working or it might be the router/modem? I clicked diagnose and it didn't do anything.

The frustrating thing about this is i need wired internet and i dont know why it just suddenly stopped working.

Thing is it been working fine ever since i got the 50ft cable wire. I dont know why it suddenly stop working.
