At the end of the day I think the culprit here was my router.  I can't really say for sure since the issue does present itself once in a blue moon now, but much improved over what it was.  I ended up getting a budget router from TP-Link and found it to be awfully good.  Range was exceptional and I liked how the interface worked, but once I saw all the press around potential vulnerabilities and the connections with China I decided to return it.  I didn't dive enough into it to understand whether the vulnerabilities were something significant or not, but moreover felt a little uneasy about what I was contributing to.  Anyway, then I went down the Asus road since that is what I've typically used for routers.  Their budget routers didn't perform all that well for me so I ended up with a higher-end model (RT-AX88U Pro) and it has proven pretty good.  Still sort of surprising how well the value router from TP-Link performed against it, but oh well.  Thanks again for the help.

Ah, I figured part of it out at least.  It was because the new router had a gateway that wasn't aligned with what the old router had.  Once I mad them the same the dockers and plugins could get out to see whether they needed updates or not.  
 
Now I just need to figure out why some of my Dockers aren't letting the indexers work.
