    The ethernet port on the Raspberry Pi normally "always works" by default when using DHCP, so I suggest you have a look at your the components, such as the ethernet network cable, the switch or router that it is plugged into as well as the router setup.

    Have you already changed any of the default network settings in LibreELEC? Because all default settings *should give* a 99.999999999% certainty of connecting your RPi. The only other option is that your RPi has an inner network hardware problem...

    I've installed 8.2.5 on my RPi1 B without any issues.

    What happens if you boot with the Ethernet cable connected?

    You could try Raspbian and see if you have the same problem. If so, then it's a HW problem.

    As the RPi is quite old, it's possible as Klojum mentioned that it's a HW failure. I have a RPi1 B that reboots if I plug in a new USB device.
