Easier than you might think. If you have a worm infected laptop plugged
into your network only periodically it can cause state table exhaustion
and the type of symptoms you describe. It wouldn't be (even close to)
the first time I've seen that. 

When it "hangs", what exactly do you mean? There are tons of
possibilities for "hangs". Does it become completely non-responsive,
console dead and all? Does the console work but it falls off the network
completely? Is the LAN still up and the webGUI functional but Internet
just doesn't work? If that's the case, you said cable modem, I presume
that's DHCP, do you have a valid WAN IP when it happens? Do you have
link light on WAN? Are all the lights on your cable modem normal? Can
you ping your default gateway? etc. etc. etc. 

Be as specific as you can be, the details you gave lead to a lot of
questions and not a lot of specific recommendations.
