That is a sign that your "modem" also delivers wifi. So it isn't just a modem.
For a more manageable network and to reduce the risk of future hassles, look into putting the ARRIS thing into modem only (bridge) mode.

Plenty to choose from there.
Which "N600" are we talking about?
N600 not a Netgear model number. It is a label on many devices with ancient (pre 2010) WiFi technology.
Or is the router ready to be replaced?
Given the age of the device, that might not be a bad idea. You will certainly get better wifi technology. Does it even support 5 GHz? Some N600s don't, they are that old.
