Lately my Wi-Fi has slowed down and the connection has become weaker. I’ve been using the ISP’s router for about two years, and I’m wondering if this affects the signal strength.

It seems you're asking about the device's connectivity setup. Is it acting as a router with built-in Wi-Fi or is it providing an access point for other devices?

It seems like you're trying to connect your phone and Ethernet to the router.

The lifespan of a router or AP is relatively short, but you won’t notice much change in performance over two years unless there’s an issue with the device itself.
