One thing you can do even if you do fix this, get you a 1Gb Non managed switch to put in behind the router. These are good to have anyways, then connect up most of your wired devices to it. Regardless of the modem or router operations, you'll have network access to resources thru the switch. I use a 24port behind mine, Also have a couple of others daisy chained.
I have a slower 5 port switch behind the router that i use to connect devices that dont need the high speeds such as Sonos, etc. But in order to connect to them i would have to go through the router either Wifi or hardwired, which i also could not connect to the devices on the switch.
