XR1000+CM2000 Latency issues/Rubberbanding several times a day. Everyday.
Models: AX5400 WiFi Gaming Router (XR1000) v. 1.0.0.64_1.0.49 & DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem (CM2000) I have been suffering from a weird issue with latency which has shown sporadic packet loss of 100...
Ok so couple of items on the CM2000 modem that you need to get the ISP to correct:
1. Power levels are WAY TOO LOW and all over the place:

2. The ISP needs to review the Event log and resolve any Critical, Errors seen here.
3. The modems Correctables and Un_Correctables should be all zero on all channels. There is a boat load.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
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.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do. Should help with the correct and un-correctables.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

Alright FURRYe38 , on the talks to get my ISP to check/check myself:
1. Power levels from ISP. [Does this have anything to do with voltage?]
2. Event Log critical, errors from ISP
3. Will change my CAT 5 to CAT6
4. Have ISP check signal quality and line quality UP to the modem.
5. Uhm, by "provitions" you mean, they provide me the right modem?(Because we bought it on our own from a list of approved modems). Or servicing the modem correctly?
6. Check again for splitters, amps, and signal attenuators. As far as I know, there is none, because we have a single cable line that provides us with internet. No table TV or phone lines.
7. The RG6 Coax is perfect, no damage.
8. Power off modem for a minute, after everything has been done.
Will keep you updated.
Have the ISP check out the items mentioned. This is on them.
