I bought an XR1000 and I got a modem from my ISP rather than a router as it should logically be better.(?)

My house has Fiber-Optic wired to the house but the modem is connected with a coax cable and my ping in waveforms bufferbloat test is 17-23 with/without QoS/Congestion Control and the bufferbloat is usually stuck to 15-30+ for download and +5-15 for upload with a load of jitter and an ungodly amount of ping spikes ranging from 15 up to 50's 70's and sometimes 100-200 if not 900.

My intention is to kill bufferbloat because I'm suspecting that I'm not in sync with my online play, my bullets don't register, I die too easily to players that aren't anywhere near good, and I'm never allowed the same amount of reaction time as anyone else on the server, primarily tested in CSGO. I'm comparing this experience to my mates house next door on his PC and my own, my old houses in Denmark and the UK all locations but my current one providing decent gameplay. I'm by the way more than great at the game and I hope we could just take my word for it even though anyone would say that.

My ISP does not have an own DNS server, they don't supply me with a login and they just suggest that I set my router to grab anything it gets from the modem and call it a day. There's a chance my cables might be screwed, but I figured I'd atleast troubleshoot the router first and ensure it's running properly because my ISP is essentially leaving me out to dry here, I've got the modem and the coax connection to work with unless anyone suggests otherwise, I'd love some scripted sentences from anyone that I could take to my ISP if need be.

My logs in the router suggest DoS attacks and I don't really know what to do at this point, I haven't played games in 2 years because it's not fun anymore, that's essentially 2 years of going to work and coming home going frustrated to bed because my hobby doesn't work for me anymore. I appreciate any help in advance, I just hope I'm on the right course to actually be able to play games again.
