    To anyone with similair problems.

    Here is what fixed this problem for me.

    1: I contacted my ISP they, looked into the router and did something on their end to ensure stability to their servers.
    2: I updated my Lan port drivers. First I updated the drivers of my lan version that didn't seem to do anything but then I went to device manager, under network adapters, I right clicked my adapter and opened the properties. Under the properties window, I clicked on Driver. And then clicked Update driver. That massively decreased the problems occurance but didn't fix it.
    3: Since it didn't fix the problem, I got mad. (that step is really important, trust me :D ) Then I took a pen, and clicked the reset button on the back of the modem (hold for 7-10 seconds to work). Didn't think it will fix anything but it has been like 3 days now and I haven't had the problem since (had it every few hours). 

    I looked far and wide for a solution to my problem and I didn't find anything anywhere. I really hope this can help someone. Network problems are frustrating and certanly tricky to fix. Really happy I managed to solve my issue.
