So since I cannot necessarily pinpoint the problem I am hesitant to put a name to the problem. A little about my setup: I am hardwired in as is another computer in the same room and it is experienced on both setups. Basically, when I am in a discord call and playing a game like League of Legends/ Fortnite the opportunity for me to disconnect and my network to go haywire vastly increases. The difficult part about this is I cannot recreate it 100% of the time as it happens sporadically, but at least a couple times a day. I have restored default settings to the router and I have explored many different options like if QoS could assist in this, or port forwarding, I've even looked into replacing the coaxial cable as the middle prong is slightly bent, etc. 

What I am noticing is that if I remove the router from the equation, then things appear to be functioning fine. So while I haven't necessarily isolated it to the router being the root cause, it is looking increasingly likely.
