Update on the issue
After restarting my PC and changing nothing else, it seems to have fixed itself.
I can't seem to recreate the process of the lag/disconnection anymore.
This is odd because I've tried restarting my PC prior to the overnight restart.
Either way, it seems to be working fine and if the issue comes again, will be sure to keep extra attention to the details and such.
Thank you for your time either way!
