Orange light solid? That is a textbook example of a modem failure. Or, 'failed power on self test' (POST). Replace. Is this out of pocket, or do you rent? Is it still under warranty?
Also, have you completely taken the network down, then back up, one component at a time?
Can you communicate to the router? If so, does it display any weird IP or MAC address', what is it's self report status? Have you attempted a firmware update on it? Have you re-booted it, from the connection? (Not the power source!) Electronic failure is usually just that, failure. It sounds like you have an intermitent disruption to service. Either caused by Spam, Trojan, Virus, or you have lost it all, and a spammer has control of your systems resources, and you are steadily moving up the FBIs hot list of Internet spammers. Telephonically, check all of your bank accounts and credit cards NOW! Not tomorrow, or when you feel like it, NOW! If you have lost control, and you have any type of banking information, to include taxes from 1942, you are toast. Even if you think you have never done online banking, think about that time you used a credit card to order that special request. Bingo, that account is now open for infiltration.

I have also heard that if you run cable TV, and internet, and every room that uses cable data is working, something has to give. Could you be experiencing data overload?

Do you have firewall? Hardware? Software? or both? What does it report?

A lot of variables to contend with, but security must be taken seriously!
