your cable connection page isn't horrible. There is some errors and the power is a little out of spec but I've seen worse.
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.

mine is currently running firmware version V1.03.01 so more up to date that theirs anyway. I realize cox is just trying to upsell me on garbage i don't need but lots of people don't, so I appreciate it anyway.

When you first log into the router, click on the internet icon. it'll take you to the cable connections page. It shows upstream/downstream info and helps us check the line.
