Why does modem disconnects from CMTS occasionally

[Squirrelington 45]

Background:

 

Roommate was in the middle of an Overwatch Competitive game, I was in the middle of WoW derping around and suddenly the net goes out. I hop onto the router (Netgear R6100) and the modem (Netgear CM400), both owned by me, to check what happened. The router indicated it had no DHCP IP (0.0.0.0). The modem indicated that no DBC Acknowledgement was received and it appears that it started scanning for signal soon after that? Does anyone know the likely cause of this to happen in the middle of the day?

That should be the fault or your ISP's line, not the router/modem. Call up your ISP and get someone to look at your line.
