okay. So good news is that this did the trick! Thank you so much! The only thing is there have been times where I've had to reboot the router for whatever reason and the network loop occurs again. I then have to do the whole process again which is very annoying. Is there anything I can do to prevent this loop from happening in the future?

It is good to hear about your progress!

In the realm of home networking, link aggregation has a reputation of being unstable at times.  This is often the case when the two devices being linked are of different brands.  Also it is one of the reasons for the move to 2.5 Gbps ports on both modems and routers.

When your router boots, it uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to the various devices connected on your LAN.  Both hard wired and over Wi-Fi.  This process also happens when you have a device that was not on at the last router boot and then you turn the device on at a later time.  If you can identify the device or circumstance that causes the instability, you and go in to the router and reserve an IP address that has your network stable.  Depending on the number of devices you are talking about, both hard wired and Wi-Fi connected, there are a lot of combinations available and the unstable combination can be difficult to identify.

Suggest you mark this thread resolved and start a new one at a later date if necessary.
