Hello,
As the title says, I've been having issues with my internet for a few months now, the internet would cut off for like a second or something like that every 4 hours and it would reconnect automatically. It's 'long' enough so it breaks stuff like twitch player or kicks me out of some multiplayer games so I have to refresh/reconnect. The disconnect is 'gradually moving forward in time' as in: One day it will happen at 10:20AM -> 2:20PM -> 6:20PM -> 10:20PM -> 2:20AM -> 6:20AM -> and then it will move ahead a couple seconds and it'll be 10:21AM -> 2:21PM etc... Right now I'm experiencing issues at 10:26AM -> 2:26PM etc.
My specs:
Router: Huawei EchoLife EG8145V5
PC Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X

RAM: Ballistix Ballistix, DDR4, 16 GB, 3600MHz, CL16

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8GB GDDR6
SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 1 TB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen3 NVMe
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB 3.5" SATA III

Pingplotter info
https://prnt.sc/qCZByGliKwGN
The red 'spike' is what it looks like on pingplotter whenever my internet cuts out
cmd ping 8.8.8.8 -t
https://prnt.sc/bOyV5XpC94Fd
This is how it looks like during pinging using cmd, that request timed out is when my internet drops.

How is my PC connected?
My very basic understanding of networking and such tells me:
Antenna -> Huawei EchoLife EG8145V5 Router -> My PC via cable
Are there any other devices connected?
So that Huawei EchoLife EG8145V5 Router provides also TV to 2 seperate TV decoders? via cable and there is also Wi-Fi
Does this problem appear while using Wi-Fi?
I'm unsure, I don't use Wi-Fi that much and I've never noticed anything out of ordinary, but I might be wrong, I asked friend if I could 'test this on my phone using something similar to cmd and ping 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 -t command' but he said it wasn't really possible?
What steps/solutions have you tried doing already?
My drivers should be up to date, my thoughts are that maybe some program that I've used <Mod Edit> something up, I was changing lights of my AIO and GPU using that infamous "gigabyte rgb fusion" software and I've recently acquired wireless headphones HyperX Cloud 2s + HyperX Ngenuity software and for some reason that could be the issue? I don't know.
I've read some stuff about checking router lights and how do they blink and they seemed fine to me, I even recorded a low quality video of them when I was anticipating that network error so I guess I could post it if asked.
I've also used WinMTR program to ping/trace 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 using it and at first, the very 1st hop? had between 20-40% packet loss and whenever my network error occured ( the one that happens every 4 hours ) it would seem that every hop? got affected by it. Then I did that network reset using windows settings and the very 1st hop? is no longer showing 20-40% packet loss but 0. I could probably post results of that too if asked to.
Sorry for some grammar mistakes and stuff as such, English isn't my native language and I tried to explain as best as I could what's going on so sorry for that wall of text and images. Hopefully someone knows what is the issue/cause of all of this.

What steps/solutions have you tried doing already?
- Tried restarting the router and PC.
- Using windows settings I've tried to restart the network
- I've tried disabling the firewall to see if that changes anything
- I've used Malwarebytes to see if maybe some virus/unwanted program causes this but found 0 viruses etc. https://prnt.sc/Li6y14hYe_rz
- I've bought a new cable that connects my PC with the router, the issue still happens.
- I've tried commands like "ipconfig /flush, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew"
- I've read a post like this so I tried to clear ARP cache using commands arp -a arp -d
- I've called my ISP and they said they didn't see anything out of ordinary but they went on and they restarted the network which moved that '4 hour timer' from 9:40AM -> 1:40PM etc. to 10:20AM -> 2:20PM etc.
