Factory reset the router again , got spectrum to replace my modem with a new one and still the problem there.
What is that modem?
V1.0.2.78 has been fine here.
After they replaced the modem, did you go through the recommended reboot process?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
 - Turn off router and computers.
 - Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
 - Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
 - Turn on computers and rest of network.

OK. Straightforward modem with nothing routery to complicate matters. Unless the ISP has specified a particular customised version.
