Would need more info your experiences.
What is the Mfr and model of the ISP modem? built in router by chance?
Is the ethernet cabling between modem and router and devices of good quality? Cat6 recommended. Don't mix Cat# cables.
What ethernet devices are you connecting to the router?
Try the suggestions I mentioned to see any changes in behavior with the router. Graduate adding devices.

What ethernet devices are connected to the back of the router? Mfr and model#?
Theres cat6 and CAT6a. Cat6A is in wall big cable for in wall and ceiling runs.
Cat 6 is standard patch cables used between home and office devices.
Cat 7 is targested for over 10Gb network services.
Cat 8 is designed only for data centers where distances between switches and servers is short. It is not intended for general office cabling.
