What firmware is on the router aspect? (the cax80 has firmware for modem and for the router)
Do you have a screen snip of the cable connections page (all of it) and the modem logs? it helps us see if its a line issue.
If you have any coax splitters, amplifiers, or attenuators in line, try it with them removed. Also check the coax for bad/cheap connections, kinked/damaged wire, extended runs, etc.

Thank you for responding. Im not using a splitter or anything extra. I have my streaming box connected via ethernet & phone is connected via wifi. I took a pic of firmware. Not sure where to find modem firmware. Any advice would be great

- BEB7474Sep 23, 2020StarHow can I get that? Everything loses connection. I took a screenshot of my internet port settings. My ISP said my signal is very strong. They came out & chkd my connections & said everything was good on their end &my end.

Post a screen capture from the modems web page under Cable Connections. There could be too much power on the line as well.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
My CAX80 has been running great for me. Most issues are ISP and signal on the cable line releated.
