Thanks for your response.. Look at the below answers.
>> Why? What happens that forces you to reset the modem/router?
Wifi just stops working. No internet until I restart my router.
>> The comment about firmware is puzzling. The C7800 is a modem/router. Only your ISP can flash it.
You are correct. I confirmed that I have the latest firmware from my service provider.
>> Your subject says "reset" which is not the same thing as reboot. Which is it?
I unplug the power from the router for 2-3 minutes then plug it back in and the wifi starts working.
This is AC3200 Wifi Cable Modem Router
Model: C7800
Where can I find documentation about troubleshooting? I couldn't find anything helpful. Thank you

2.4 and 5 GHz?
Do the LEDs on the router look right?

OK. Reboot. Reset usually means something completely different. You may like to try it.
