Flaky internet connection

This has been happening off and on for the last few months after years of problem-free running. I'd get our wifi router to the shop but the nearest is a long drive so I'll describe what's happening, more in hope than expectation ;) Win10 on all 3 machines. Unfortunately there's nobody nearby to quiz on whether others have the same problem.

It happens to our desktop and laptop PCs equally, so I presume it's the line or the router, maybe the telephone connection or the DSL filter?

The connection has good days and bad. On the good days you wouldn't notice a thing, on the bad days it's a frequent pain in the arse.

Typically it'll stall briefly then revive. No biggie when surfing but a pain if you're streaming something. In this case there's no sign of anything wrong on the internet signal on the taskbar.

Sometimes the connection drops long enough for that icon to indicate 'no internet connection'.

Sometimes a power reset of the router brings it back to life, sometimes not.

Very occasionally all the modem lights will go off, apart from the power light, then we're into the power off/on routine.

Any advice much appreciated :)
