Power levels are too high. https://kb.netgear.com/24311/Power-level-guidelines-for-a-NETGEAR-cable-modem-router
Get you a -6dbm coax cable line attenuator between the modem and coax line.
Got some correctables and un-correctables however not horrible. Should be mostly zeros.
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.

Thanks for your help, I have ordered a new cable just to see if that changes anything. If not, will go forward with ISP and the attenuator.
Get an attenuator as well. Power levels are too high currently. Cable will not change that.
