Are you using wan port aggregation?
if so, i'd highly recommend disabling it on the cm1100 and the RAX and just using a single connection. I've found many ISP's have issues with port aggregation.

so its solid for 24 hours and then drops?
have you tried connecting a pc to the modem and using just that for 24+ hours to see if its a modem or a router issue?

I wouldn't say it's solid for that long. Basically I'll check it whenever it seems slow which is about once a day. Most of the time it's slower than mollasses. Connecting just my pc would not be practical because we have 3 of us working from home every day. It was doing this before that though. I have bypassed the router when it is slow and done a speedtest that way and it's fast so it's definitely a configuration in the router.
