You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Cable Modems & Routers
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
I've checked that the router's firmware is up to date as well.
Only a number can confirm that, but in the case of cable modems, there's nothing you can do about it.
