Internet Keeps Dropping After Speed Upgrade

So I recently I upgraded my download speed from ~7 to ~15 mbps and had a new router installed.

Now the problem is my internet connection drops (both wired ethernet connection and the wireless) at times. It happens every other day and causes intermittent connection.

I can use the troubleshoot wizard on my Windows 8.1 laptop to regain internet connection but there are times where the router must be turned off and back on since the DNS server is not responding to regain access to the internet.

This has only started happened after upgrading the speed and it is very annoying as certain times, if I download something that is 1 GB for example, I can expect to lose connection midway or after the download.

I'm starting to regret the speed upgrade because of the constant drop of internet connection, I was rather happy with slower speed with no problems of 9 YEARS. 9 YEARS!
