Thank you plemans. I am working through the troubleshooting you outlined, and am waiting on hold with Linksys tech support as we speak. Thank you again.
I am going to switch to the Cox Gigablast Service, with the current promotion it is actually cheaper than what I am paying now for the 300 mbps service. Which means I need to upgrade my modem - any suggestions?

I wouldn't go with CAX80. I have it and love it on xfinity. But when we find people with issues on here for the CAX80, its tending to be people who are Cox service.
So I'd go with a standalone modem like the CM1000, CM1100, or CM2000. (provided they're compatible, check with cox just to confirm)
I also wouldn't recommend the CM1200. it has extra ports but on cox, they're pointless as you can't use port 3/4 unless you have a business class line or pay for extra ip address. And port 2 only works if using wan port aggregation or again pay for extra IP addresses.
