What kind of Internet service do you have? If cable, post your signal levels from the modem diagnostics page.

Googling seems to indicate that modem is super ancient, I'd swap it with a newer model from the ISP to see if that helps.

Yeah that would probably work if you don't have any fancy services like phone or home security, though I would rent one from your ISP to see if that fixes it before you buy one. The Motorola/Arris SB6183 is a good choice, or the 6141 if you don't think you'll need such high speeds. Do note that a new generation of modems is about to launch, so while they probably wouldn't be a good buy because of high prices when new, make sure you get a good deal as you may not get as much lifespan as you'd hope out of a modem you buy now.
