Turns out that WiFi was the culprit even though it was reporting 80%
signal between the bridge and AP downstairs. I've just ran an
extension to the phone point through the windows and now have the
router physically connected here.

I'm now seeing consistent speeds of 5+ Mbps as opposed to a connection
that was dropping out every 10 mins.
