Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
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 them back ON.

What FW version is loaded on the R7960P? Mines on v62
Mines been online since 9/27:
However mines connected to a CAX80 in modem only mode.
QoS not enabled on R7960P
I would try different wired PCs to compare.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cables. CAT6 for all wired connections, including between the modem and router.

I would update the routers FW, there is more resent version available. Load fw, factory reset and setup from scratch. Power OFF the modem for 30 seconds then back ON when you reset the router.
