For about 3 months our home internet has been cutting out frequently, sometimes once a day to about once every minute. We have tried many things to try and fix the problem including:
1. Buying new Modem/Router [Old: Netgear DGN2200, New: Belkin AC1200GB]
2. Changing Phone Line Port from 6 pin to 4 pin[New]
3. Other things

It has been stressing out the whole household we have gathered a few theories to what may be causing the problem:
1. A lot of connected devices wireless [5 computers, 4 mobile devices]
2. The cable running through the house[Not the main door socked, [Cannot have it there]
3. The new modem.
4. Conflicting IPs

If anyone has any ideas or has had a similar issue please help, if you need any more information please feel free to comment.

Thanks :D

Have you called your ISP?
Just had to say that just in case.
Anyways. Alot of routers have a problem mixing 802.11g and 802.11n devices.
Try turning off 802.11n on your router.
I've ran several brand new routers and STILL have the problem you describe until I turn off 802.11n. Especially when I have 2 or more .11n devices fighting my lone .11g device lol

I spoke to my ISP, they were quite unclear, hard to understand, and hear. I will try they again soon, the other option you spoke about didnt work?
