Etherley is usually more reliable than wireless so the situation you describe is very odd.
I am not there when it happens - all I know is that the ethernet gets poor 'service' but there is no complaint about the WiFi - which is simultaneous some or most of the time. Like you, I expected ethernet to be more reliable than WiFi, and I also know that WiFi degrades as the number of users increases. I have advised to move the ethernet cable between the four modem ports, and that seemed to provide some improvement at times. The modem was new in November last year.
