Alternatively, you don’t have to be restricted to a 10-year-old router just because of DOCSIS.
You could change the router to bridge mode , effectively making it just an external modem for any ethernet-to-ethernet router of your choosing.

The router that comes with my ISP contract is garbo and I highly doubt it has bridge function. With my used 60euro worth fritzbox, I keep the customization options and reliability. It has been 1.5 years and it hasnt failed me a single time while the other constantly had issues with stuff connecting to it.
