Unidentified Network Problem

Two days ago my area's internet went down for 3-4 hours. When it eventually came back up, my computer was unable to connect to the internet but my phone was. Looking at my adapters showed that both my desktops wifi and ethernet were getting an unidentified network error. My phone gets wifi but my computer cannot. On top of this my computer started using 100% of the cpu without running anything but the svchost.exe, i solved this by going into the services and disabling DHCP Client which immediately dropped the cpu usage to around 5%. Checked my router and the light is lit green on the ethernet port and everything else is green. Check the computers ethernet port and it is blinking orange.

I fail to ping:
127.0.0.1
192.168.1.1
8.8.8.8

Things I've tried:
Reset router
Factory reset router
Ipconfig /release came back with error: an address has not yet associated with the network endpoint.
Ipconfig /renew came back with error: an attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
Netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt: came up with an error first but after going in and editing the registry i was able to get it to fully reset.
Turning the adapters on and off.
Windows troubleshooter: ethernet doesn't have a valid ip configuration.
Installed new network drivers (two times)

None of it has worked.
Sorry for the bad formatting I can only access the internet through my phone.

Did you re-enable the DHCP Client?

When you factory reset the router you returned all configuration settings to their respective default values.

Very likely that something is still not as it should be via oversight or typo.

Can you run and post the results of "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) from the command prompt?

Do you have the User Guide/Manual for your router?

Start by treating the router as brand new, out of the box and reconfigure for your network requiremens.
