some routers have a WAN port for that.

Yeah, a short length of CAT5.

I'm not sure using two modems would be a good idea. It might be better to get one working well. How far away are the devices from the wifi signal? Can you raise the modem higher? Can you position it to remove obstacles? Is there a firmware upgrade you can get?

I don't lose a connection the network. I lose connection to the internet. I can see that my network is up all over the house. I just can't go out on the interwebs. This happens right next to the router.
