Intermittent network issues

Hello,

Sorry if this is the wrong topic. This isn't quite a gameplay issue and I couldn't think of a better topic to place it under.

I recently started recieving intermittent network issues. From the dev console, I get messages like the one I've attached (I've extracted just the "[client]" console messages, I can provide the full log to a valve employee if desired, I just don't know if there is PII so I'm being cautious). These manifest as the game sorta "hitching", like every other player/npc freezes for 2-3 seconds while my client is resynchronizing with the server. This has drastically reduced my quality of play as I can no longer really react in realtime to other players.

To be clear, I don't think this is a deadlock issue, it seems to correlate with me installing a new router. The reason I'm posting in the forums is I'm wondering if there is a way I can either add timestamps to the console log. Ideally it would automatically log to a file, but I can always after a game copy it into a file. I've already setup some logging on my new router to dump a lot of info, but I also need to be able to correlate it with the game logs to narrow down what might be the cause.

This has been completely intermittent, like one game will go fine, I immediately requeue and suddenly I can't go more than 30 seconds without a hitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if I can find out what is going on I'll be happy to provide an update.

In case its relevant, I switched from an Amazon Eero to a Mikrotik Hap ax3, and I've already tried upgrading it to the latest firmware.

I normally fix this by changing my mac address or doing a network reset but lag inevitably comes back. Ive also had friends in my area with the same issue so im wondering if it has to do with the region. I hope this is of some help.
