What Firmware version is currently loaded?
ALL FW UPDATES FOR ALL NG MODEMS ARE HANDLED ONLY BY ISPs.
NG developes the tests the FW, THEN when ready, they pass it to the ISP for there testing and certifications before the ISP will push to users modems. FYI, some ISPs will not update user owned modems.
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page when the CM series modem IS online with the ISP services.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What is the brand and model of the host wifi router connected to the modem?
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.
