Wifi drops despite 3+ technician visits...

 

I'm experiencing an intermittent connection error which drops all connections for all computers, even with some computers disconnected it appears to still have the same effect. It's not specific to one NIC erroring. I'm providing all of the troubleshooting information I can in the hopes that anybody is able to help me pinpoint what's causing these issues.

This is what my outage chart for a typical day looks like, the unpredictable outages are making WFH next to impossible. 

And here's the corresponding router logs and upstream/downstream. I've censored MAC addresses for obvious reasons.

    Stats like that do indicate noise ingress and would definitely need a technician’s visit to correct. 

    The figures are accumulative since the hub was last power cycled. So please turn off your hub for a short period, this will reset the counters, then post a new full set of stats after about two hours. This will indicate the current line status.
