1) cut the trees
2) elevate the dish.

Nothing else will solve an unclear reception.

Satellites move constantly & if properly controlled stay in a "box". If you "tweak" your dish when the satellite is dead center, then you will be in the best angle. Now if you have problems, it is either equipment or your line-of-sight.

I've read of internet reception boosters but have never tried one.

How about trying Amazon?

Difficult to say with certainty. Your modem could have issues with power, cabling, static, heat etc. etc.
3 failures in 7 years is slightly excessive but could be just bad luck.

Antennas can help improve the wi-fi signal in your home but do nothing for the internet. The speed you get is (or should be) the speed you pay for as specified by your ISP. I've never had any luck with replacement antennas FWIW.
Amplifiers can help compensate for degraded signal in long cable runs or from multiple splitting of a cable (i.e. to several tvs and/or modems). If this is your situation one may be worth trying.
