Last week i agreed with my ISP to upgrade my internet from 50/5 (download/upload) to 100/10.Their policy included a necessary router+modem combo upgrade, so they sent me a new device and i properly installed it with no issues.It was exactly the same installation path with the previous one.Before the upgrade everything was totally fine...Very few disconnections, steady speeds, perfect ping through fastpath etc.
After the upgrade and before the new router arrival, i had no problem except that the download speed was stuck to 58Mbps and i thought that the old router can't handle it or whatever...But when i installed the new one, 3 days ago:
What confused me a lot is how from one moment to the other and right after a router installation, can someone go from a steady connection to a basically non-existent one and blame the wiring when for months it didn't cause a single issue...Like, they're blaming the wiring but it doesn't feel right... Unfortunately i don't have enough knowledge to understand what's going on by myself...I started learning stuff the last few days, but i'm still in the dark.
Obviously the first thing that someone thinks here, is that the router is underperforming...But i have to prove it, in order to ask for a replacement from the ISP...Or i can go and spend $100+ for a decent one, but i want to avoid that option for now.
Any opinion, advice etc. is appreciated.Thank you

- Millions of CRC Errors from 17:00 to almost the next morning (I can't be 100% sure if it's a pattern here but it seems like it)...From early morning to noon everything is stable.Speeds are still changing a little bit, but I don't have disconnections.
- Not even one FEC Error.
- DSL Downstream constantly changing from 55 to 75Mbps.
- Never exceed 75Mbps even tho my ISP sends me 110Mbps download.
