In the mean time, anything it may be on my end? I've installed updates, did a full scan with avast, reset router, etc. It still happens (and then is fine later).

Any ideas?
I would ping from your computer the router IP address and an IP address in the internet (example: you could use 4.2.2.1, a DNS server) during the day and when the issue occurs. A trace route to 4.2.2.1 wouldn't hurt.

The other thing I would do, is to use a ping utility called Multi Ping. Haven't used it in years, but it shows graphs of the average ping time, and also the time of the day. If there is a ping, it would be green and when it times out, it's a red stripe.

You could use that tool to send a screenshot to Telus technical support to see if the issue is either the router, the internet connection or both.

The tool can be used on a free trial for 30 days.
