WoW was open when I did both of those tests. I'm not sure how old the house is, honestly, but it's likely been around since the 80s-90s.

Had something similar several years ago. In my case it was the coaxial cable connected to the modem. During midnight the room the modem was in would cool and the coaxial cable was screwed in incorrectly and was barely connecting.. So the cooling of the room caused enough shrink of the metal connection to ruin the internet connection.
In my case the box where the connection enters the house and the coaxial cable was replaced.
Perhaps something similar is the case and in the best case scenario you just need to unscrew and rescrew the cable and make sure the connection is secure.

If that's not the case, it might help if you also mention where the connection fails: modem, router, switch etc.
You can look at the blinking lights or test it with your laptop by connecting to each individual item.
