Need tech sup
For a few months my internet cuts out a few times an hour starts usually about 7 pm and continues cutting on and off all night. I have my own router. I have done hundreds of restarts and nothing cures it.

What do the modem's signal status values look like ? Try getting them here; http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1
Please copy all of the text in its entirety of the *Downstream Power Levels*, the *SNR's* (Signal to Noise Ratios), and the *Upstream Power Level* numbers and paste them into your next post.
What is the exact make and model number of the modem / gateway device ?
Is this with a WiFi connection ?

I have a netgear nighthawk c7000 modem/router. I can't access the values, when I enter the name/pass it only promts for password reset. The netgear app only shows signal strength, which is excellent.

It's hard to advise without having that data, so here is some basic stuff that you can try and see if any of it applies;
In an effort to try to obtain better connectivity, check to see if there are any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/reconfigured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1002 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.
Also, check the coax cable for any damage such as cuts, nicks, abrasions, kinks, sharp bends, animal chews.
If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two-way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street / pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.
Good luck with it !

For the sake of curiosity, did you have a chance to see if any of those tips apply ?
