Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page if you can get to that section in the CBRs web page.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

https://www.duckware.com/tech/solving-intermittent-cable-modem-issues.htmlSo try this, Power OFF the CBR.
Disconnect the CBR from the coax line. Power ON the CBR and see if you can still access the CBRs web page?MIght try a full on ERASE from the Advanced tab/Admin/Backup Settings section. Does the front LED blink after the CBR resets with out the Coax cable connected?
