All connection lights going off and on with SMC Barricade 7004ABR

If it were so hot enough to be a problem for the router, it would be a problem for the cablemodem, too. And if the cablemodem is setting on top of the router, the heat of the router is rising into it, too. So if it's hotter inside the modem, and it's surviving, it isn't likely what's causing your problem.

If the connection lights on the modem are going out, and the connection icon on the computer is, too, the most likely problem is a bad Ethernet cable, or loose connectors. Possibly the jack on either the NIC or the router is bad. If it's a multiport router, change ports. Change cables next. And if it's still a problem, try a new NIC. Changing ports is free. Changing cables is a buck or two. Changing the NIC is a ten-spot. And even though routers aren't blocks of gold, at that point you've still spent less than the cost of a new router, and the chance that you'll fix the problem is greater than if you replace the router first.
