The BEST suggestion is an automatic switch with no connection whatsoever to internet or wifi. You can get them just about anywhere like Lowes, Amazon, Walmart etc. Simple programmable timer. The ISP can't help if the modem isn't accessible and they can't access it from the outside (WAN).
Cheap and simple example of one:
Amazon.com
There are mechanical ones available for $5 or less on eBay as well as Amazon. Simple Google search for electronic timer will find hundreds of them.
