Motorola Router restarting every 10 minutes.

mrdoxxy

hello friends...i have had a motorola surfboard sbg6580 (which is a modem and a router hybrid)  for a couple years now...however for the last 4 months my router keeps disconnecting from the internet and reconnecting 3 minutes after (it doesnt turn the whole router off, just the internet.) i didnt seem to care much because it would do it for every 3 hours, but now it does it every 10 minutes. one thing that i have noticed is that if i use the internet constantly , like play a game of tf2 online, it seems to not disconnect for 2 hours at max. however when the internet is not being used much / being used but with not too much data being sent or received it does disconnect every 10 minutes. please help me. thank you

I noticed my router was getting kinda toasty as it sits on top of my computer. So I deiced to use my laptop cooler, I dont use it for my laptop. Good think the router has a USB port so I didnt have to waste one from my PC. The router is much cooler to the touch now. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
