Have you tried changing the ethernet cable between router and modem?

No, everything works fine with the supplied ethernet cable. From time to time the Internet LED turns red, rebooting the router and modem makes the LED turn green again.
Again, what is the meaning of the red Internet LED?

I presently have no spare cable to swap out for the supplied cable. I do not think that it is the cable since when the Internet LED was red I still had full internet access. Also, I did not touch the cable when I cycled the power strip power switch to reboot the router and modem. So, for now, I will consider the situation resolved (presently the Internet LED is green).
Thanks for your help.
