netgear nighthawk cax80 multi gig port keeps dropping connection

Hello

So this issue with the multi gig port dropping connection has me a bit frustrated because I can't figure out what is causing this issue. I have tried different Ethernet cables cat8, cat7 and I currently have a cat6a stp plugged in. The drops of internet are random throughout the day from a couple a seconds then it comes back and some days I have no drops. this issue has been going on for about a week an half. I recently build a new pc were the muti gig is connected to which I didn't have this problem for the two weeks after building the pc. Any suggestions are welcome.

Motherboard - Asus Rog Strix z790 - e gaming (which has a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet connection)

Internet Provider and Service - Xfinity Gigabit Extra (speeds up to 1200mbps)

Ethernet Cable - CAT6a STP (25ft)
