There are some factors that can cause this, let me tell you some of them.

1. I dont know how Xbox works at all, but if it is connected via a cable make sure that cable is not damaged, because the blinking on (Also I dont know what every info does cable pass) router can also mean a data loss or also Xbox since it would had slow connection try to use maximum of your router.

2. The servers you play on - There may be also an issue of that, the server is way far from you and your provider may not have good connectivity to handle it without packet loss.

3. Router is used so much - You have mentioned that it blinks, but that may not mean that it wasnt used a lot before, but it may also mean that when u started to play it was used just really much, so make sure that not hard transfers are done during you are playing

Aswell I wanted to list more probable causes but realized that it is really hard to get to problems as that.

Then it's not your internet, it's Wi-Fi, Something is Taking over the Wi-Fi Bandwidth, Like copying files, etc.

if you provide me your router model i will see if i can diagnose this better.
