When it fails, can you reach your Linksys router through http://192.168.1.1 OK, and check the status? That tells you
everything is working that far.
Can you reach your Cable modem at http://192.168.100.1
and check its status? If you can, check your cables DownStream signal power and that
it is in range of 15 dBvM to -14 dBvM. You could have a weak signal due to a bad
cable connector, splitter or cable. If it drops out, it may have trouble getting
sync until it is powered off. Check the Upstream power, if it is above 56 dBvM it
could be causing your modem to over heat and you need to fix your cable connectors
to bring it back down into the 40's range. But if you had those kinds of signal power
problems, I would have expected your Cable tech's to have detected it and to send
out someone to check the reading levels at your house ground block.
Some people find they have to power their modem and router off one a day to keep
things working well. I have to power cycle mine about once a week.
