If your ISP supports having another WAN IP address on the other port, then you could connect a 2nd router to the other port on the CM modem.
What wifi router system do you have connected to the CM modem?

Ok I see. I have a Orbi RBR750 with two sattelites. FW updated to the new 1/21/21 release. I've been connecting to the main router via ethernet, but getting crazy latency spikes and packet loss. Today I had 40% packet loss on the Orbi (first hop). But, sometimes it as if the latency jumps/packet loss are coming from upstream. Its probably mostly just COVID related ISP issues, but I just want to make the most of what I have. I will just pray that my ISP lets me use that second WAN port
