This is the only machine that loses internet. all other devices work when this one goes down. When I run the Windows troubleshooter, I always get "The dns server isn't responding" and Windows is unable to fix it. The only fix is to restart my computer.

I cannot ping google.com. It results in a "Could not find host" error message. However, pinging 8.8.8.8 which is the same thing works flawlessly. So this means it is not my internet. I tried flushing the dns but it still does not get my internet back unless I restart my computer.

It means that the router cant do dns so it has to go and find one and may find a slow one the numbers I gave you are for the fastest dns servers on the internet
