Network Dropout when PC is connected??

Hello! First let me explain my network setup.

I have Frontier internet (ugh). I have their router hooked up normally w/ a cable from it going under the house and into another room that has a netgear router attached. These are 2 seperate networks, it is not just a wifi extender. A cord comes out from the netgear router, into my computer. Here's the best I could do in MS Paint for a diagram LOL click here .

So here is the issue: 
When on wifi using ipad or Pixel 2 xl attempting to speed test Frontier router, half way through the test, speed decreases to 0 and the Frontier router resets itself.
When using computer attached to Netgear router downloading something through steam (with no throttle on), Frontier router resets itself. 

 

What to do?

Call up Frontier and tell them you have a garbage box that they gave you and they need to replace it.

Can you access the logs of the frontier router and determine the cause?

What happens if you take the Netgear router out of the mix? Connect directly to the frontier box with your PC and run the speedtest. If it still craps itself then they need to replace it again :)

Agree was about to suggest this... do all testing with the 1 router, then if everything checks out it can be assumed that the config of the second router is to blame somewhere.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

I don’t see any boot ups aside from the first one in that log, perhaps try putting the relevant portions on pastebin? You can see what time it goes down using a clock and then go to the portion of the log that correlates with that time.
