Is it possible that a cable modem can cause a router to reboot? My router has been rebooting causing the internet connection to fail. When i unplug the wire connected from the router to the modem, the router doesn't reset. Any ideas?

could be someone is trying to hack you, or you have a virus/spyware/trojan that is causing the problem.
Also even tho you have a router, you should still run a software firewall on each pc.

Hello,
I have a few questions? Have you made any changes in the modem settings? How many and what do you have connected to the router, that device be causing the router issues. Try and removing the devices connected one by one and see if this will give you any idea.
