I went from Internet 100 with a Cisco modem which was pulling 110 Mbps and about 7 up to the Hitron which was 55 Mbps down and 16 up. Now I am back to 170 Mbps down and 16 up. Which is fantastic given the bill has dropped $40

For the issues with the Hitron modem; would those be cured if I hooked it up to a different router? Or is it the actual modem functionality that's sub-par?
I ordered the self installation kit, and got the Hitron. I have my own AC router that I'm hoping I can use that if my wifi isn't great on the Hitron.
