I know nothing but will ask some preliminary questions
It has been doing this for 4 years? if not when did it start?
What do the lights on the router do when it loses the connection.?
Please post the router stats.
What software does it have?

Your stats don't show any significant errors but your downstream sync speed of 11,228Mbps is a touch slow for your attenuation of 29.5dB.
According to the following speed calculator your line should be capable of a max speed of 16,000Mbps.

Not everyone will get the theoretical maximum speed, you need a perfect line for that.
It's always worth trying a different router so yes I would try the tg582n. You will probably need to manually enter your plusnet username and password before it will connect, so I suggest you enter those before connecting it to the phone line.
Setup guide for the TG582n:
