To reset a cable modem you just unplug it from the wall for several seconds. I only have to do that to mine about once a month. The Motorola modem I have has several lights on during normal use and if I see that only the power light is on while I'm trying to work I know that it's time to reset. I think in the past six months I've had to reset about 4 times, it's very irregular as to when I have to reset.
