what are the diffrences of this two modems?
Compare the differences between Arris SURFboard SB8200 and Netgear Nighthawk CM1100 modems. You’re considering using your Comcast gift from Netgear for the 3.1 modems, possibly upgrading to a Netgear Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 or AX11000 Wi-Fi 6 router. Check if all models are fanless, since your current setup has fans running continuously and getting very hot.
You notice the product description on their site doesn't explicitly confirm or deny compatibility. It seems like a potential change might be coming, similar to what Netgear has already implemented.
The site referenced included this feature in an upcoming release. Netgear seems likely to be in the same situation, though they're promoting it as already available—just requires updating the firmware to activate it.
Having your modem resolves certain issues where it occasionally stops functioning and then restarts, restoring internet access.
It’ll take a while before you need to use that function. Cable companies still struggle with upload speeds; I’m pretty sure we won’t reach more than 1 Gbps anytime soon. Still, you’ll have to wait for your provider to install the latest firmware on the modem. Yes and no. Often the devices you receive are outdated or poorly powered. But sometimes signal problems occur. These might stem from interference—like a damaged wire or connector letting in RF signals from TV or cell towers—leading to network issues. If you’re experiencing this, you’ll need to address the underlying problem. Remember not every ISP supports customer-owned modems well. I’ve heard of some that let you use them but won’t offer any assistance. On the other hand, companies like Xfinity provide a selection of retail modems they’ve tested and updated, so some ISPs do update these devices.
