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.

Understood. I will do all the above. However, how do I disable IP address tracking on the macbook?
Also, is there a specific cable on Amazon that you would recommend?
