    The issue was never about the Cable Modem. I fixed the issue by swapping out the Router for someone else's and so far it's been rock solid.

    Thanks anyway.

Our household recently had this same problem and no immediately evident causes. In our case we bought another N750 for testing and also tried an older router. We are both techies (long time online gamers) but this was no simple troubleshoot. My husband was running a media NAS and the software had been crashing the router OS by spamming the network with dhcp (and other) requests. A reboot of router fixed everything until the next spam induced OS crash. This scenario had us stumped and frustrated until we stumbled across a forum post on the NAS software website and connected the dots. PS: We also have had problems with Comcast service dropping signal from modem if we owe them even pennies past due. I have Comcast on automatic bill pay and sometimes I forget to check the invoice and owe them a (small) past due balance. Each time I notice dropped/crappy signals and pay any outstanding balance - the problem miraculously is fixed instantly. This has happened 3 times in last 12 months. Food for thought.
