Is this is a modem only or do you know if it has a built in router by chance?
Has the modem been fully powered OFF along with the RBR for 30 seconds then back on?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Does a wired PC directly connected to the modem exhibit the same problem or no?

It is just a plan vanilla modem but supplied by NBNCo (Broadband wholesaler)- Network_Termination_Device_(NBN) - FTTC.
Yes turning off and on the modem temporariy solves the problem. But after an hour it the connection drops again.
But instead of the modem off and on, I just goto my router's admin page and do DHCP release and renew; which also temporarily solves the problem.
