Every time you re-boot your modem it has to go through the re-training.
There must be a reason for failing. I had an issue for many years and
eventually tied it down to the Draytek router was randomly dropping my
main ZEN connection and switching to Plusnet on failover. Took a re-boot
to get Zen back up again. Only found out that the router was the cause
when I plugged an old, suspected to be faulty router in while waiting
for a replacement to arrive and everything just worked. Nothing's fallen
over or needed re-booting for a good 6 months now.

I'd replace modem first as they're cheap as chips and then replace
router if you still have issues. Always good to have a spare router
pre-configured for hot-swap diagnostics.
