I recently switched from Start.ca to Rogers for my ISP. I had a TP-Link TC-7610 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem paired with my Asus 86U when I was with Start.ca, this modem worked perfectly fine with the Asus. Rogers gave me the Hitron CGN3, then I switched to the Hitron CODA-4582 to troubleshoot some things.
The issue:
Rogers gave me the Hitron CGN3. Put it into bridge mode and connected the Asus router. Getting download speeds higher than advertised and everything seemed fine. However, when using instagram on my iPhone, videos barely load. Constant buffering issues, photos not loading even scrubbing through youtube is a challenge. Its media that seems to experience this issue. Internet browsing on the computer seems totally fine.
Troubleshooting:
1) Tested the same Asus Router on a family members Technicolor modem and there were no issues at all on either platform even when they have slower 25mbps speeds.
2) I asked Rogers for their gigabit modem, the Hitron CODA-4582 and the same problems persist. I don't experience this issues whatsoever when I am on any other wifi at a friends or at work.
3) Turned off bridge mode, and use the built in wifi on the Hitron, the problem no longer persists. Only with the Asus router.
4) Updated to the latest firmware on the Asus router. Even tried out Merlin and nothing helped.
5) Tried a couple things from here.
TL;DR: crazy buffering issues on instagram and youtube with this modem and router pairing.
