Thanks for all your ideas and suggestions. I think I have a couple of things going on. First of all. The cable that goes into the modem is old and travels a great distance across baseboards and around doorways to get to this central location. I believe I'll connect the setup more directly (within a couple feet of the cable outlet) first and see if that helps.
If not, I believe I'll just get a new router to see if that makes a difference.
Creativity points go to the suggestion to build a box with a thermostatically-controlled cooling fan. That almost sounds like work to me!
a cat5 ethernet cable can travel up to 100 meters before it needs to be re-amped and the signal scrubbed for noise.But i would seriously move the modem and router as close together as you can and replace the old cable with a new one.
