Not necessarily the wireless box either. First you need to establish without doubt whether this has anything to do with anything(!) wireless. Hence you give everyone a cable for a week and turn the wifi off. I've seen these symptoms on an xtra broadband connection when the useless xtra name server where configured. Every so often for days in a row, every Nth page load in the browser wouldn't connect. Check what name servers you have configured. There are still a few public recursive name servers left you could use for a week or two, but they are getting rare. (I wouldn't use google or spammers like opendns.com.) But you say Telstra cable modem? They don't work unless your public IP is loaded into the network interface of something else in your house. If you use your wifi box for that you can't turn that off and you can't see which side the problem is on. You're going to have to replace the wifi box with something else temporarily.
