So since I just have a cable modem. I should change from router to access point?
Not necessarily.
What is this cable modem? Make and model?
Is it a modem/router? Does it have a row of LAN ports on the back? Does it also dish out wifi?

Looks like a standard cable modem with the complication of a telephone socket. No built-in router.
Your Orbi should work in router mode.
It is hard to see how the router can interrupt your connection, especially at the same time. It is easy to blame the router for this sort of thing, but it smells more like something going on on the telephone network.
