You can access the router with the address printed on it (usally 192.168.254.254) and look if its taking errors and the signal to noise should not be lower than 10, when it acts up look at the modem to see if the lights change,
also make shure that all of the filters are in place and installed correctly, you would be amazed that they go missing or are backwards!
Take a look behind the TV

There are no filters anywhere in the house. The landline left long ago.
I plugged the modem into the test port on the outside of the house today. I was all excited at first that the line status went to "marginal" on the modem, but it soon went back to poor, then dropped.
No internet at all last night. Brutal. Almost had to talk to the wife.
Up and down today. This might post, this might not.
Here's the notes from when the line was installed. Looks marginal from day one.
