TP-Link makes decent, inexpensive cable modems. We have been using one for a few months now. Here’s a python script I put together to reboot my TC-7610. You can use or extend this further to programmatically reboot your cable modem if Internet connection is out.
You may be able to use this script to reboot other models from the same manufacturer.
We use Python’s famous requests library, and leverage the Sessions object to login first and then submit the reboot form. Make sure your environment has the requests module installed.

headers = {'user-agent': '', "Referer": 'http://192.168.100.1/index.htm',}

try:
with requests.Session() as s:
r = s.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers, timeout=_timeout)
reboot = s.post(rebooturl,headers=headers, timeout=_timeout, data = {'TopReboot':'1'})
print("Rebooted.")
except:
print('Failed to reboot, please intervene.')
sys.exit(1)
