CM1000 modem with WiFi 6 routers
Purchased a TP Links AX6000 and the modem starting having issue. Called cable company and they denied issue. Logged is as said and it did reflect some potential cable issues. However in an attempt...

I personally would avoid anything TP-Link.
I recommend you try this, get on amazon and find a NG model RAX router, try a RAX80. Amazon has good return policies and usually you have 30 days to try something out. Give a RAX a try with your CM1000. Be sure the modem signals are Good. Besure to use CAT6 LAN cabling between the modem and router and router to wired devices. I would first test the RAX out with what ever FW was loaded on it first, or you can load latest FW. Try something out and see how it goes.
Another consideration is that do you need AX at this time? Can you fully take advantage of AX? Would a AC class router suffice as well?

Just an update. For almost 2 weeks now, we have been back on the AC2300 and not even a blip. Been working fine. Was at a Best Buy and saw the Netgear WiFi 6 mesh router and the wife asked me if I'm crazy. Didn't buy it. Don't think it will work with this modem.
