Your modem has some errors in the line. Not a ton but some.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
If you can, simply connect the modem right where the coax comes into the home. This prevents wiring in the home from being the issue. And some ISP’s charge if the wiring issue is in the home. So this helps prevent this.
that can help with the modem.
Not sure if you're issue is the modem though if your ping times are low when directly connected.
You tried it that way correct? Directly wiring the gaming console into the modem and testing speeds/ping?
