Home Internet router loses connection about every 5 days

You're describing my symptoms almost exactly and adding a fan fixed it.  I would go several days, maybe even a week, and then it would stop passing traffic.  What I found out later is that it was still passing traffic but very very slow.  Pings were intermittent but they got through.  My modem was never hot to the touch and I was not using the built-in wi-fi.  And the room it was in was cool.  The overheating is very isolated but a very real issue.  It probably also depends on signal strength and how hard your modem has to work to keep the connection going.

What you pointed out actually makes sense. It reads 97F internally and the room is dry cold. I'm gonna add some air flow to it.
