I'm experiencing drop outs of internet connection quite frequently. This is happening over both wi-fi and wired (using homeplugs). I can't see anything in the router logs that stand out to me as disconnect/reconnects.
Are there any tests that can be run to determine whether the cause is between router and internet, or is internal to my router and wireless/homeplug network.
I've never noticed the issue in the past and only seems to be occurring during past few weeks.

Ethernet cables of any length are available on line very cheaply. Substituting your Homeplugs with a proper cable temporarily will tell you whether you have a network problem.

Not enough ports on router for home schooling and working from home, for long cables to be a valid option for any length of time!!
I will look to pick up a 25m cable to run some checks though.

Hi before you do that, Try this link BTW Performance Tester (btwholesale.com)
to see if you have enough speed for all the live streams you do at the same time.
