Lots of Errors in the logs. Any Critical, Errors or Warnings needs to be reviewed and resolved by the ISP.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
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.
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, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

So I called my ISP and told them everything. They said everything looks fine on there end and that they don't see any issues. Could it be the router itself? Is there a way to manually update the Firmware? The ISP says they cant update that.
