Media Server Dropping off the Network

I am not an IT guy fellas, I'm lost in the sauce on this one....If anybody wants to do a go-to-meeting with me, I'll be willing to pay you.

So I am still trying to resolve this and I was able to log into the Arris modem that Cox provided me. There are 3 Mac addresses. One called WAN Mac address, One for 2.5gh and One for 5gh. I am assuming that because I am using the network on my Netgear router I should be using the WAN Mac address from the Cox modem and proceeding with that. Can someone verify that this is correct. Thanks. Again I'm really trying here as I have very little IT knowledge.

You need to find MAC address of your Win10 Server … on windows go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
There will be list of all network interfaces your server has … double click on the one you using to connect to network (wifi in your case) … click button Details … note the value of Physical Address … that's your server MAC address (also note IP4 address … its IP address given to your Server by DHCP … we gonna assign that permanently to your Server … since picking alternative address is not feasible with your knowledge)
Forget modem given to you by Cox (that only connects to internet) … I assume Arris is connected by cable to your Netgear? … I will further assume that Netgear is doing your house wifi … then its likely Netgear is doing DHCP
Log in to your Netgear via web browser … you need to find something like "Address Reservation" setting there … I don't have Netgear so no idea where it is, but it should be somewhere … it will have table for MAC address and IP address you want to reserve for it
you then add an entry to that table with MAC address and IP4 address you noted earlier … now Netgear will always give your server same IP address

Thank you. I have enclosed a screenshot. I think this is the window you are speaking of. Yes Arris modem is connected to the netgear router. The question I have now is There are several IPv4 addresses listed. Which one do I take note of? IPv4 address or IPv4 DHCP server?

I think I found the area in the router where you make those changes
