Here is a tracert to "gmail.com" when the modem is working and when it fails. The issue is outside the local lan but is at a crossover to IPv6 in Cox land and is part of the route table that the modem stores. Rebooting the modem "fixes" it until some IPv6/IPv4 route table update from an access corrupts the routing table and makes everything unreachable including the mode @ 192.168.100.1. Probably accessible to tech that can arp the modems route table.
Working, no isues...
