Software Internet issues with wifi (and possibly ethernet)

I put software but unsure if its software or hardware. I assume its software because at some point the hardware worked perfectly fine. Running windows 10, Z590 AORUS Ultra motherboard version "x.x",

Have had issues with internet for the longest time.
Used to use a TP-Link 2000mbs ethernet that plugs into the wall/ outlet and then you plug another one into the wall near the router and into it, that stopped working a while back (had some issues, forget exactly what but I believe its in the same vein as the wifi). Switched to wifi and for the last 6 months at least, my internet will turn off for a few seconds, sometimes even 30 seconds to a minute, then come back, and follow that cycle until the router was reset. This is the only device which does it, and still does it even though I just purchased a new router.
Ive tried going into device manager and changing around the "802.11a/b/g Wireless mode" settings, the "802.11n/ac/ax" settings, and disabling packet coalescing. Initially both were set to the "6. Dual band 802.11a/b/g" and "4. 802.11ax" and while sometimes the internet would turn off, it still worked most the time. But now I manually installed the newest drivers for the motherboard, and if I dont have the "n/ac/ax" settings set to disabled, my wifi will not function whatsoever. In fact it was so bad that I had to install the 2nd to last drivers for it to function anywhere near properly (Jun 14, 2022 wifi drivers). Ive seen a similar thread where someone reset their wifi stuff by typing like 5 things into command prompt, the whole“netsh winsock reset”, I did that, and it did not do anything. Ive changed "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" off.

Ive tried so many times to fix this that I dont know at this point what I have and havent changed, I know Ive changed settings in bios before, and ive probably spent 15 hours total troubleshooting this over the last 6 months over multiple sessions. If anyone could help me figure out the issue that would be great. Let me know if you need any more hardware information
