I know how frustrating it is with slow or dropping internet connection. After reading and re-reading your initial post, I noticed that you did not mention what speed (Mbps) your parents had signed in for.
With your system being included (now) in the existing data-receiving set up,you are essentially starving of data that your devices need to operate satisfactorily.
You said that you are using an Amazon Firestick. Watching movies through your web connection can really tax your system horribly...hence the drop outs.
You also said that you are willing to spend some money to improve performance. The first thing to check is if your existing broadband modem is capable of handling higher data delivery. Do some research from the plethora of modems in the market before calling your provider for an increase in data delivery.
No increase of performance can be achieved by adding extenders or increasing signal strength if your connection is slow.
Think of it as pumping water with a high output pump when in fact the supplied water at the intake cannot keep up with the liquid being drawn.
