so if i get a 3.1 modem will be fine

I have a simple question.  If it has been answered already I hope maybe you can point me into the right direction. With 2 different threads on the same topic one has already been closed since people can't agree and disagree as adults....My question is which MODEM should I purchase TODAY that is compatible with NetDuma R1 router and hopefully other routers as well.  My ISP is Comcast/Xfinity my download is 120mbps and my upload is 5mbps.  Thank you to  you and everyone else for being helpful and supportive.  
 
SIDE NOTE: My current MODEM is:Arris SB6183

Hi All,
 
     Please let me know what you think of these test results.  Also let me know what I need to do if anything to make things better etc.  
Test was done with Modem Arris SB6183 MODEM connected directly via Ethernet cable to PC.  I have Coax cable going from wall into a splitter and from there i have coax going into modem, tv etc.  All images have names hopefully it shows up in the forum correctly.  I am sure most of you will know better than I what each test is, does and so on.  I have images of my Downstream channels and upstream channels I can post that and I have images of my LOG from the MODEM.  I can post all that as well as long as any of these postings do not create a security risk for me.  I feel like something is going on be it with my ISP or Modem or Router.  I have Netduma R1 router but for this test NO router was used I also have Nighthawk X6 (R8000) router.
 
SIDE NOTE: I did have speed tests but i accidentally deleted THEM! Speed tests particularly for upstream speed was fine but the dsl reports showed red graph and the red line in the middle extending up.  I will provide that soon if necessary.  I'm just looking for information, help and education on all this .  
 
Thank you ALL!

I think you have to add pictures to the Managed Attachments under your profile...

Hey Mod,
 
You can add the Arris SB8200 to the Compatible list. 
I've had it for a couple weeks and I'm getting amazing results so far. 
 
Hit detection is spot on in BO3.
K/D has improved. 
Much more stable gaming as compared to the TP Link 7610 I was using. 
In-game ping is more stable and I don't notice any skipping in BO3 that I was seeing in previous modems. 
My area does have Docsis 3.1 for the download side enabled, but I'm still only on their Blast package. 
Not sure if the Docsis 3.1 is helping with the connection or not. But I'll take it.
 
I'm currently having some issues with the modem rebooting but I believe that is a line issue with some RF interference which Comcast is looking into. 

My 6183 has been working just fine w the R1. Big item to make sure is that your signal line level is good from the isp.

Your approved modem list a joke. Oh wow 5 modems are compatible by you? No real data just hearsay. At least there are users trying to get more on this so called approved list. Lol

*NOTE FROM NETDUMA FRASER*
 
Keep in mind, the R1 still works with those listed you just may get a better experience with those in the compatibility list. Some people use those in the non compatible list and have no issues.
 
There is no reason to purchase another modem/router unless you have specifically found issues with your existing modem/router.
 
You are advised to do your own research before making a financial commitment.

THIS IS IN NO WAY A FULL LIST OF THE BEST GAMING MODEMS.
 
AS A GENERAL RULE - STAY AWAY FROM ISP PROVIDED "ALL IN ONE" MODEM/ROUTER HUBS IF YOU CAN.
 
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW MODEM AND WANT TO BE SURE IT WILL WORK PROPERLY ONLY PURCHASE FROM THE GOOD MODEM LIST.

*By "bad" modem we mean ones that either have bugged chipsets which cause slowdowns and huge ping spikes under load or ones that have been tested and proven to cause less than optimal gaming experiences.
