Intermittent loss of WiFi

For the past few months, we have suffered. a loss of WiFi everyday, several times a day, sometimes for 5 mins, other times for 30 mins. All the lights are on the router and booster box and I have tried resetting them both but to no avail. What else could I do to get the service that I pay for?

@TonyW3  You can download Wi-Fi analyser on to your mobile and at the times of dropping see what signals are the stronger and if they are being overtaken by another around you.

@TonyW3  For the password use your WiFi password if you have not changed the admin login password.

Yes, constantly. It seems to be getting worse.

Did you see the Router Stats I sent?  I ask because I'm not 100% sure my reply was sent.

@TonyW3  Yes I did see them and the connection itself has been up nearly 9 days and your Wi-Fi has been up over 7 days with no drops showing.  Is this happening to all devices connected to the Wi-Fi or is it just one device?
