And your wired connection is still fast? If so, I would guess that the cable to your house is fine (although the outages are another issue all together), and there is a fault with the wifi portion of your modem/router. Or, as mentioned above, interference.

Yes it is an interesting problem. I do have a baby monitor, but I have tested on both bands to similar results. The drop outs are what have me a bit puzzled. I have not changed anything since 2014 when I reno'd my basement. At that time Shaw came out ran a bunch of tests and configured the splitter themselves.
I also had problems with my Gateway years ago, and ended up being a faulty gateway box. So maybe it is hardware.
