ATAs designed to be so placed have a WAN ethernet socket (connects to
your cable modem) and a LAN ethernet socket (connects to your router.

So it plugs in between the modem and the router.

The BT Voyager 10V and other devices do this, the two ethernet ports
are the key.

On your general issue, cable broadband is a bit thin upstream - what
is your rated service speed and what does it speedtest at with the
speedtest.bbmax.co.uk or andslguide.org.uk testers.
