C7000v2 bogging down

Using the C7000v2 and i'm noticing some bogging down and sometimes slow speeds with intermittent connection. Is there something i need to be doing differently or should i just bite the bullet and buy a router and keep the C7000 as a modem?

    Besure there are not coax cable line splitters between the modem and ISP service box. 

    Use good quality RG6 coax cabling up to the modem. 

     

    Contact the ISP and have them check the line signal and quality UP to the modem. 

     

    Reset the modem and setup from scratch. Test speeds with a wired PC connected to the modem.
