So as the title says. My internet has an issue where it will cut out at completely random times, from anywhere between a few seconds, to up to 10 minutes. It can happen zero times per day, or up to like, 4-5. There is no real link between the issue and when it occurs, it just feels completely random. I've had it happen in the morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and the middle of the night (I have a pretty odd sleep pattern, so I've seen it happen basically any time.)
When the problem occurs, the LED lights on my network adapter shuts down, and I can almost feel how much its struggling to get back to working.This has been an ongoing problem for many, many months now, and I have tried, what I feel, is every single trick in the book. I am gonna try and list what I have done so far, to root out some elements.
I have tried
3 Different cables
2 Differen't ISPs
2 Different modems / routers
Direct connection to said modems
Complete Windows re-set.
Various windows 10 settings regarding the internet (Energy save for example.)
Various settings in our modem / router
2 Different network cards
And basically every single common "Fix," I could find through google and youtube.
At this point I feel like I have tried absolutely everything, and am now turning to forums and communities for more ideas. I've also got a small log of most recent failure, which shows when it started and how long the cut-outs last.

When it comes to the internet icon on my windows taskbar, it will often just spasm between "Yellow" and "Red." And sometimes it'll just go full circle.
I've been trying to run diagnostics as much as possible as well. Either it just says the cable isn't plugged / broken, or it will say the default gateway is not available, after which it'll reset the network adapter. I've tried running with automatic DNS and Google's DNS, both with the same results.
