cm1000 or cm1000v2 verification before buying
My ISP has a full certification of approval for the cm1000v2. It permits the cm1000; however, it's considered "allowed" and not certified. After a bunch of reading, I've learned that there is a sli...
- I understand either will work...but spectrum seems to like to blame all the internet problems on the equipment..so If you buy the one that is fully ok on their list they cannot use that for an excuse.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the CM1000 is shown as "allowed" and CM100v2 is shown as "certified". So, since either version would "work", all sellers get to show it as acceptable with my ISP.
Then if they both work, you should be fine. The cm1000v2 is basically the same processor minus some features.

the box, where there would be a number like, say, "CM1000-100NAS" or
"CM1000-2AZNAS", or some such extended model number, then the "-1" or
"-2" part would identify a "v1" or "v2", respectively.For example, on the Best Buy site, I found a "Model: CM1000-100NAS
SKU: 5712202". (Whether that agrees with what they actually sell is
another question, of course.)
