First wire a PC behind the CM1100 modem with out the router and speed test to make sure your getting to spec speeds.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute them back ON.
If you can get to spec speeds with the PC behind the modem, then reconnect the RAX and wire connect the PC behind the router. Power OFF the modem and router while you wire connect everything up. Then power on the modem first then the router.
Check your results.
Any router problems, please post about them in the following forum:
Good Luck
