This happening across different PCs and devices? 

Is the PC wired or wireless connected to the modem?

 

Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.


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. 
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

    Thanks for the reply!

    This is happening across all devices (Wired PC, wireless phone and TV)

    The ISP was able to connect to the router. I used them to reboot it once yesterday.

    I don't believe there are any splitters. I removed the one behind the wall socket when I first moved in.

    I'm using the coax cable that came with the router, so I assume it's good quality.

    I power cycled the router for ~30 seconds, but I'll try a full minute next time the issue happens.

     

    Here's the connection status:
