If your seeing problems with the ISP modem and if it's not corrected, then you'll probably see same problem on a different modem or gateway combo unit. Modems only work as good as the signal on the line up to the modem. If there is is problems on the line then the ISP needs to resolve this first before checking into something different.
Be ware about Comcast/XF ISP and current and ongoing infrastructure changes that maybe effecting services to you as well:
Any and all questions regarding there services need to be directed to them.
Once there services are working better, then you might get into something of your own. I recommend avoiding a combo unit and get separate modem and external wifi router system since cable ISPs are the only ones able to update FW on cable modems. The only gateway modems that users can update, which is the router portion of the gateway are the CAX30 and CAX80. All other C and CM series modems require the ISP to update the FW.
No, NGs Insight app handles WAX series APs.
