I had tried that, but performance was dire.  That could just be the
combination of those particular devices.  If my old modem/router packs
it in, I'll just buy a decent one directly from someone other than my
ISP.

I was thinking it's more likely to be something like UPnP.  Though it
could be at the remote end.

All the smart devices I have run at 100 mb/s ethernet, none run at 10
mb/s or 1 gb/s.

All of which went dumb a while ago, for several days, when something at
Sony stopped working, and they go into stupid-mode when they can't
authenticate with their mummy.  I have a sony TV, and several Sony
bluray/smart set-top boxes for various TVs.  The TV deleted all the
channels associated with the ABC, no streaming playing from any
services on any devices, the devices wouldn't store their settings,
even playing DVDs required mucking around, unplugging the power to be
able to eject a disc.  A few days later on, they all went good again.

You might just want to try switching your network around, now, for the
set-top boxes, and see if it behaves any differently.
