Unstable net connection

Have had this Lenova PC for a fw years and internet connection has worked perfectly. Recently, and particularly overnight, I lose net connection and it takes a few minutes to get it back when I get to my PC. Diagnostics gives no errors. I have no schedule set. During net connection failure on the PC, other devices can connect to the same SSID. FWIW, 10-14 days ago I added a Netgear router as AP with a separate SSID.

Is it possible that's when the connection problems started?

Don't think so. I think there were 3-4 days difference, ,but, because I'm unsure, I added that caveat. If true, what would that signify?

To me it says start at the beginning, may even entail doing a reinstall or clean install of Windows. If I have issues with my connection I unplug the Router from one Desktop and unplug the Modem from the Router then plug the ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket on the Desktop, see if I get a good connection. But then my Modem is provided by my ISP and separate from my Router.
