the cable modem is a Netgear CM2000 - same NightHawk series as the router.
Only question I don't see answered is why the "attached devices" list shows the Ooma as low priority when I explicitly defined it as highest priority???
I will try as suggested and turn off Qos and see if better.

That's pretty normal. Most ISPs deliver slightly over the specified speed.
Your speeds are not that fast. But I have the same sort of service (VDSL). I don't use VoIP but have never had any problem with on-line meetings, Teams, Skype and so on. And they need more bandwidth than voice.

"Attached devices" is one of those features that causes constant problems. It is often inaccurate and can miss things.

Suck it and see is an obvious thing to try. It can't do any harm. If that gets you nowhere, then follow the suggestions from plemans
