My new modem seems to be doing the CP rotating strike thing. My provider sent a new one a month ago when the decade old one started doing the same thing, acting like it was overheating. For some reason they prefer the client not supply their own modem but since they're not that expensive, I'd prefer to just go to a big box and get a new one faster.

Ant recommended brand?

You may not be able to provide your own. As a start, what type of service (ADSL, VDSL, Cable, FTTH, etc). Who is provider?

FWIW, I have Teksavvy VDSL and they require you to use their modem. I haven't had any issues with it. When I was having some issues, I saw there was a firmware update available for it and wanted to install that to help rule out modem as source of issues. Teksavvy will not update firmware on existing hardware. To get new firmware, they wanted me to buy a new modem for <$100 (same modem with new firmware). I followed another path and was leaving that step until later. Problem turned out to be something else.
