Check to see if the CAT6 cable is UTP or STP.
How far is the ONT from the RS?
i have both types of cat 6 does the same with both, ONT to RS give or take 75 to 80 feet, Frontier tech was here yesterday he tested the CAT 6 coming from ONT to RS with a meter and he said he was getting 5 gigs up and down, only markings on ONT,

I presume this is your ONT unit?

Being that far, might check into some CAT6A STP cabling to ensure good signal between the ONT and the RS.
