Thanks for responding, I believe the modem is only a modem because it originally came with a separate router from my ISP. The model number is "E31T2V1 DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA" and it is from Spectrum. It has one Ethernet internet port, one Cable port, two Voice ports, and one power port.
Looks like you are right. But it helps to rule this out. Modem/router followed by router is an all too familiar issue.
The log entry you mentioned might not be related, but there have been events in the past where the router gets flooded with log entries and this eats up processor power, bringing the router to its knees.
The usual cause of those log entries is "DoS Attack" incidents. These are harmless and are mostly down to false alarms from Netgear's firmware. People have found that disabling that logging eases the burden on the processor. Likewise disabling traffic metering and QoS take the pressure off the processor.

I'll try that and see what happens in a week or two. Should I also disable "Port Scan and DoS Protection" in the router settings? Or only turn off the logs. I have Traffic meter disabled, and Upstream and Downstream QoS disabled, but not "WMM," should I also disable that?
Thanks for your help.
I'd start with the logs.
