Normal connectivity will be similar to the following line diagram:

ISP ----> Modem --- Ethernet --->[WAN] Router [LANs] ----> Ethernet cable ----> Wired network devices

Connection between ISP and Modem is likely coax cable or DSL (telephone) cable.

In some installations the Modem and Router are combined (Combo) into one device.

If the Modem/Router or Router support wireless then you will also have ~~~~ wireless ~~~> Wireless devices.

Edit/correct my line diagram as necessary. Include the make and model for all connected devices.

There could be other components: splitters/filters (from ISP), switches, wall outlets, etc..

For most people an internet connection contains multiple devices and connections.

Generic "line diagram":

ISP -----> Modem ----ethernet cable ----->[WAN port] Router [LAN ports (4)]---Ethernet cable ---> wired devices and also

wireless> Wireless devices.

Sometimes the modem and router are combined as a single physical device.

By knowing what devices (modems, routers, switches, etc.) are installed we may be able to identify some misconnection or misconfiguration via the applicable User Guides/Manuals.

What I can determine thus far is that your router has a commonly used IP address of 192.168.1.1 and that router is assigned the IP address of 192.168.1.2 to your computer.

Does the following link match/show your router?

https://us.comtrend.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/DS-VR-3060_V1.0.4.pdf

So for your setup I would expect an incoming line that goes to a "splitter" (or "filter") that divides the incoming wire into one wire going to your router and a second wire going to your telephones.

Also realized that you mentioned "servers" - plural. How many servers and how are they configured? DHCP, Static?

Are you able to run "arp -a" via the Command Prompt and post the results?

Yes that is my router and what i mean by "servers" "is because everyone connects to the same server which is the US east server. Which of course is everyone that lives in the US east.

8.8.8.8 is Googles public DNS server. They also have 8.8.4.4. Yes, many people everywhere use Googles DNS.

There are other public DNS servers available, all (including Google) as a option to your ISP's DNS.

You have other choices:

Not familiar with that router's being either "good or bad" per se. Likely just average overall.

It still remains, as I read back, that the packet loss is local to you.

Where your ISP connection comes into your house there may be what is known as a "splitter" or "filter". Very small; just a couple of inches in each direction and not very thick.

The incoming line goes into that device and two lines come out. One line leads to your telephone system and the other line goes to the router.

Do you have such a device?

Are there any other devices in your network. That 10.10.10.1 IP address (private network) indicates the presence of another router.
