There are a lot more tuning settings required but lets get the main one
Can you type: echo $(nproc)
and then back in grub customizer add isolcpus=X where X = $(nproc)-1 from what is printed from the line above.
Then reboot.

Rod, no amount of tuning is gona help on a disconnected link.
-
Did you change the cable?
Do you have a USB-to-LAN adapter to test with?
Do you have another PC to test with, any PC with a different cable.
-
Code:
ip -s link show eno1
But, only after the Mesa is connected and trying to run LinuxCNC.

Yes, this does not seem to be a latency issue but a connection issue.
Not really sure what the cause is. I have a 800 G1 here running
LinuxCNC without any Ethernet connection issues so I don't know.

Is is possible to try another PC to try and isolate the issue?

So this is the current setup 
And I have this HP PC here I can use for testing.

I'm a bit confused, Initiially an IP address was not set but in later ip a dumps it was correctly set for a Mesa board at 10.10.10.10, It was never made clear after that if the Mesa board was pingable. I assumed it was. 
I would like to see the Hal and ini files to confirm the MESA IP address.
Can you ping the card?

Also from photos of the board, it would be great if PCW could confirm that the links are set for the 10.10.10.10 address is set correctly. W2 down, W3 Up

Also, need to check out the 5 volt power supply to the board which is usually powered form field power which seems to be the case. But are the links set correctly to send 5 volts to the logic side? Can PCW confirm?

The final thing to check on physical wiring, What is the field power voltage? What is the actual power supply? What is the power supply current available? There have been numerous instances where borderline power supplies cause network failure with Mesa cards. This must be ruled out. If need be get a good industrial power supply such as Meanwell MDR-60-24.

It might be worth setting the IP address back to automatic (DHCP) and connecting the PC to your normal network using this NIC card to confirm networking is working.

I mentioned it before but be sure to set the IP address and coalescing as shown in man hm2_eth (use your IP address and 
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/h...h%20static%20address

So if all of that checks out and a new network cable does not fix things AND the network is connecting but drops out every 45 seconds or gets error finishing read., there will likely be one of several power saving settings kicking in periodically.

These are my HAL and INI files

I can ping 10.10.10.10 but every time it goes over 0.500 ms it throws the error 
These are my W2 and W3 jumpers
This is power to the board 
This is the power supply to the board 
And I also have a Meanwell MDR 60 24 for testing its just a really old one.
