Hey everyone. I've been having this problem for a very, very long time but now it's getting much worse. My internet connection will randomly disconnect, then be fine at most 40 seconds later. I like to host servers for me and my friends to play games on, and often have a server, a skype call, the game and Chrome open at the same time. While this might push most networks, I have 50mbits/s download and 10 upload, which leads me to believe this shouldn't be happening.
Now it will disconnect in less than 5 minutes of playing with my friends, which means we all have to reconnect to both the server and the Skype call, which gets extremely frustrating because of how frequent it's getting.
I've been trying fixes like running scans for viruses and restarting my router, and also just switching around my Ethernet cords and ports. Nothing has worked and my internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting at random. It can happen when just browsing Chrome as well.
Please help me solve this problem. Hardware/Software specs can be given if needed

I have 2 Ethernet cables that I've tried, problem still happens with both.
Only happens to this computer. If it's of any concern, I'm connecting using a router provided by Comcast, which is also connected to the Telephone and we have a laptop that connects through Wi-Fi. Neither have problems when the internet disconnects.

I'll re-create the problem and check if any lights go out. Router is ARRIS TG862. The lights go in this order:
Power, US/DS, Online, Wifi, Tel1, Tel2, and Battery. Tel2 and Battery are always off because it's plugged in and we don't have a second landline. Power, US/DS and Online are on. I'll see what's different when it happens.

Update: Hosted a server and a 3-way skype call, when it disconnected no lights on the router changed.

Update 2: Went on a TF2 server, and within 30 seconds disconnected for about 4 minutes. During that time none of the lights on my router changed, leading me to think that it must be a problem with my computer, and not the router. Any ideas?
