It didn't work, but I finally fixed the issue by downgrading the firmware to V1.0.6.116 and factory reset the router. I also manually change the MAC address to another router.
Try this.
Power off the modem and the router and disconnect everything from both.
Even the coax from the modem.
Wait up to 10 minutes. (at least 2)

If that fixed it, you can mark it solved so others aren't trying to fix it as well.
Plus it might help others with the same issue.
glad you hear you got it working
