Internet drops for 5-10 seconds

Hi! I've had issues with my internet lately. It will randomly drop all connections for 5-10 seconds one or more times and hour. It is not exactly a new issue, but has been a lot more frequent recently. I have a netgear CM1200 modem and R6230 router, which I believe are still in spec for my xfinity plan, though I believe the router is technically "old" now, according to netgear that is always trying to sell me a new one. Firmware is updated on both. I have tried multiple coax cables going from my wall to my modem, but I live in an apartment and don't have access to anything else really. 

Within the half-hour since I last rebooted, I have seen dozens of the two errors below.

RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;CM-MAC=[Edited: "Personal Information"];CMTS-MAC=[Edited: "Personal Information"];CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

"Dynamic Range Window violation"

And a few of the below:

"16 consecutive T3 timeouts while trying to range on upstream"

I have seen mention of the stats below on other forum posts, So putting them here. Is there anything I can do?
