If you need to reset or restart your equipment, get better equipment. My routers are on battery backups and typically only get rebooted for firmware updates. I.e annually at best.

If you are using equipment provided by xfinity/Comcast or any cable provider, understand it's the cheapest garbage they can rent to you and still provide a minimum QOS.
The problem with these numbers is that it's assuming that each device is wired directly to the modem, without the use of a router or wifi network in the house.

Any of those devices that connect via the router/wifi, will receive data significantly slower than the device wired to the modem.

And the more non-wired devices you have, the slower the entire household network becomes.
