Could still be the router. Or the modem.

To narrow it down, try just rebooting one of the two, and see what happens. Not just turn it off, but disconnect the power, either at the wall or the unit itself. Next time you lose the connection, reboot JUST wi-fi router, see if it works again. If not, THEN reboot the modem. Next time it dies, reverse that process, see at what point it starts working (remember to leave each unit unplugged for at least 30 seconds, and allow 2-3 minutes for it to fully come back up before giving up on that stage).
