What is the device at 192.168.1.7?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
If the internet LED on the XR is not keeping WHITE, then something is going on with the ISP side of this possibly.
Has a factory reset on the router and setup from scratch been performed?

I would disable IP address tracking on the mac book to see if this stops the fraggle log entry.
You have a modem with a 2.5Gb WAN port, I'd get you a CAT6A STP cable in between the modem and the XR router.
I'd have the ISP check into any and all signal line issues that maybe causing odd problems on the XR and thus seeing this odd LED behavior with the Internet LED. It maybe reporting that there is some odd problem between the XR router and what's coming the the ISP.
Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
