Internet stops working every night

For the last 2 weeks my internet stops working between 8 - 10pm. When I wake up in the morning, it’s working fine again. Service tech changed out my modem today, but at 8:45 pm it stopped working again. Anyone else having this problem?

      Maybe you need to switch to your 5G network. If your device is not compatible, buy a network adapter, after install switch to 5G. I had the same issues. They told me to buy a newer laptop, offered me a new modem, I paid to have a line dropped in, new nodes..... When all I needed was a $16 adapter, to throw me into 5G. Now my download speed is 157-289mgbs and my upload speed is 30-45mgbs. 

      It may be possible to manually open your 5g network. But the easy way is to just buy an adapter. I'm honestly surprised that cox doesn't offer them.
