The current modem is a Technicolor CGM4231 operating in bridge mode. I don't recall what the previous one was before I swapped it for this one. Actually, now that I think about it we have had a total of three modems over the life of this issue, as the one I was using when I opened it died and I picked up this latest one from the ISP.
I have already updated the firmware on the router. It's the latest 2.2.1.210 as noted in that release item.

Possible any ISP issues with the modems or ISP services?
I understand that you udpated. If you updated via auto update, I recommend downloading the FW files to your PC and applying them manually as the suggestion by the linked user said that his system worked better after applying them manually and setting up from scratch.
You might contact your ISP to make sure your signal on the cable line is to spec and good. The router and modem depend on this.
