Wired router losing connection with PS5 every 15 minutes

I already port forwarded for the PS5, as I did before and it didn't seem to change anything (It seems the DMZ thing does something similiar to port forwarding). However, I did factory reset the router last night (And input a dedicated IP and port forwarded again after the reset) and it appears to have solved the issue. I believe the factory reset did it somehow. The only game I had issues with the connection was Hell Let Loose, but I seldom play that game so its hard to tell if its the game or my internet; but all my other games didnt have any issues as they usually do. This might be resolved. I'll comment again if it has issues. Thanks for your help!
