I'm using Charter as well and I have experienced similar problems. For me,
resetting the modem and router worked for a while but the problem became
incessant. I replaced the cables...tried connecting off the network, etc.
Eventually, Charter replaced the line going from the pole to my house and
that appears to have solved the problem.

I think the bottom line is this: the solution could be something as simple
as moving your router away from your modem or as drastic as replacing the
entire line.

Good Luck!
