For the longest time while I was using wifi it's been nearly perfect, but starting a month ago I get the weirdest network loss.
I've tried resetting my router and changing my bandwith to the max and I still have no clue why it does this.
Any help?

Did anything that has to do with your internet connection change at all when this started happening? Did you change your network card, router, location of your pc or router, or anything else that could have had an impact on your wifi's performance?

Pazer is not entirely wrong though
Wifi is susceptible to connectivity interference
See if you can borrow a powerline adapter and then check to see if you're getting the same kind of connection issue

Wi-Fi connections blow for a multitude of reasons.
Being to far away or having many solid objects between you and the router/AP means you'll have a weak signal, or having a multitude of wireless signals on the same spectrum will create interference, that and Wi-Fi connections are half-duplex which means you can't send and receive data at the same time, which also means if you were to try to send data when you're also being sent data there will be a collision dropping the data (this happens significantly more often when there's interference and a weak signal as well)
As to why this started happening. It's difficult to say.
Things it could be.
Dying Router/AP and/or producing a weak signal.
You moving your system further away from the router/AP.
The AP/Router being moved further away from your system.
Solid objects being placed around or between you and the router/AP.
A neighbor moved in with a really strong 5GHz signal (unlikely unless you're in an apartment) if you were on 2.4GHz though this is really likely.
You switched from 2.4GHz to 5GHz or vice versa. (2.4GHz goes further than 5GHz, but 5GHz typically has less interference)
The Antenna(s) on the Router/AP may not be attached properly or at all.
etc.
-edit-
btw you didn't need to scratch out your IPv4 and IPv6 address both of those should be on a local address for IPv4 = 192.168.x.x and IPv6 is probably self assigned anyway (which is untraceable unless somebody was off the same LAN as you so basically just people in your house) and if not you probably have something setup wrong.

Confirm it's wifi and not your internet connection first.

Both with wifi and ethernet.
