Hi,
Here's my problem.
I have a WSL2 installed with Unbuntu.
Everytime I try reaching the internet by updating my ubuntu or installing packages my internet crashes on both the host and VM.
My internet connection is USB tethering with my phone cause I don't have WiFi nor ethernet at home.
When this crash occurs I have unplug and replug USB to re-enable USB tethering and it works again as long as I don't try to reach internet with my WSL.
Do you have any leads on solution ?
When it was on Wsl1 was it working properly?
I would suggest you revert back to it and check if this is related to Wsl 2 or not. I had seen many forums where when reverted back to Wsl1 to issues seems to be sorted and a fix might soon come up.

I have similar/same problem too.
When I use USB tethering on host OS(Windows 11), all programs use Hyper-V virtual switch,
such as WSL2 including docker desktop, Sandbox and Hyper-V guest OSs
break down my tethering connection on both host and guest.
I guess Hyper-V virtual switch does not consider tethering case.
