I would experiment with other locations for the gateway in your home. It should on your highest floor, near a window. You can try rotating the unit.
For the best information on the external antennas, seek out Nater Tater on YouTube. He tested several antennas and positions just yesterday. I have watched quite a few of his videos. My impression is that the gateway that supports external antennas isn't all that good. I have one of the older models (Sagemcom FAST 5688W) and my service has been excellent - there is no need for me to try anything else. Good luck. 🍀

One other thing about the new white Gateway device. Its very simple screen resembles a mirror when not powered up, and when the device is placed next to a window as recommended, it's virtually impossible to read the screen against a sunny outdoor background.
Post the numbers otherwise no one has any idea what's going on to help.
