Are Ethernet statistics available?

I am having a brief (~10-15 second) loss of service very roughly once an hour.  Cable says it's between the modem and the router. That connection is a single ethernet cable, replaced.  I can't see ethernet stats on the modem, so I'm hoping there are displayable counters in the router.

Is there a means to get details statistics on ethernet frames? Not just RX/TX and collissions, but errored frames, CRC errors, etc.

    There is an option on the Orbi "debug" page to capture every packet sent/received on the WAN interface.  I often create a debug file and use Wireshark to look at the contents.  At the very least, this would show if there is a 10-15 second "gap" in traffic once an hour.
