Why would one's microwave cause their cable modem to reset and not come back up until the microwave is turned off?

This does not sound like a problem with your cable modem (unless it is integrated with a router), but with your wireless router. Microwave ovens emit radio waves in the gigahertz range. These waves interfere with the transmission of the wireless router on the 2.4 GHz or 5 Ghz range. There is little that you can do about it, except relocating the microwave oven or router and computer. == Addition: Household microwave ovens typically use 2.45 GHz radiation, which means it matches pretty well. However, the radiation from a microwave should not, or barely, leave the oven at all. So either you have your router within, say, 1 meter of your router (in which case you should move either), OR your microwave is broken, in which case you should replace it.
