when hardwired devices are dropping too, it makes me suspicious of the modem or the modem's connection.
Problem with spectrum is they've locked down their modems so you can't check their cable connections page anymore. So its tough for us to check it unless you have a 3rd party modem (and some of those get locked down too).
