Connectivity instability, low speed, Power and SNR look out of spec

Hi there,

First, I have had reliable fast internet for years from xfinity. Prior to 2-3 weeks ago I was consistently able to get ~900Mb down and ~41Mb up on most speed tests. It was awesome!

The last few weeks I am running into issues with dropped connections at the WAN, and much slower bandwidth.

Equipment / config:

Netgear CM1150v (Firmware v04.02.02)

Coax connection, 1 splitter as the line enters the house. 2-way, -3.5dB

CAT 6e on all wired connections on equipment. Cable Modem to Router to Wired devices.

802.11ax on PC/iPad wireless connections

Details:

Wired Speedtest down: ~250Mb

Wired Speedtest up: ~39Mb

Ping / Packet Loss (looks ok)

Ping statistics for 172.217.14.206: (Google.com)
Packets: Sent = 114, Received = 114, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 9ms, Maximum = 44ms, Average = 16ms

Here are the cable modem details after factory reset and 1 hour of uptime. This is where I believe the issues are.

Downstream Power / SNR not great.

Upstream Power is low.
