A couple of additional pieces of information.
The CM500 is a DOCSIS 3.0 device. There is a chance your ISP no longer supports these older devices. Is the CM500 on the official list of customer owned and maintained devices supported by your ISP? It may have been at one time, is it still supported today?
The CM500 is on the official Netgear End of Service list here: https://www.netgear.com/about/eos/.
