Is it giving you the speeds you pay for? 

That’s the key. 

It could just be how the ISP identifies it in their system. so long as its doing its job and hitting its speeds, it shouldn’t matter. 

Current setup: Netgear CM3000-->Netgear RBE973S-->2.5gig tp-link switch, Xfinity 1.4gig/240mbps

The factory software/firmware says it is a SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0.  I was worried.  When I registered it with my cable company, the software/firmware now said it’s a SB8200 with DOCSYS 3.1. Good!  I wish somebody would has said this at the beginning.
