It seems to happen maybe once a month or every 2 months. Sometimes random. Is it my ISP renewing my IP? How can I check that?

Im on all unifi hardware. Not a total noob but I struggle with the concepts.

I had a cable isp issued modem that did the same thing, except it was closer to every other week. I replaced the modem with a nice arris surfboard. Fixed the problem for me on Spectrum for the last two years. Only needed to reboot once every 6mo or so.

Lately though, they've been upgrading the network in my area (gigabit bidirectional cable, yay) but the service has sucked on and off for the past two months. I'll have bad days where my internet is struggling to hit 20mbps down. Rebooting my hardware rarely helps.
