AC1200 cable modem high ping and rubber banding

Hey everyone,

so i upgraded the family wifi from an older model to the newer ac1200 modem router per reccomendation from our internet provider. The old modem had nothing wrong with it other than it was 9 years old and very outdated but as soon as i installed the new one ive had multiple problems with it. Starting with the wifi just cutting out on us out of nowhere. I think i solved that problem but now my games are running at a low ping rate in the lobby and as soon as i get in the game, im getting disconnected becasue the ping is so high. This happens with both Apex Legends and Call of Duty.

I have half a mind to get the old router modem and reinstall it but before i do i would like to know if there is anything i can do in the situation right now. Thanks for all of the help.
