Why is the CM1000-1AZNAS supported but not the CM1000 when they are literally the same exact modem?

I just found out that my CM1000-1AZNAS netgear modem is not supported according to Comcast. Note that I actually bought a CM1000-1AZNAS, which is Amazon's packaging of the CM1000. There is literally zero difference besides packaging between the two models. There is absolutely zero reasoning for a CM1000 to not be suppported but the CM1000-1AZNAS is.

also not that in the modem itself, it will only report CM1000 regardless if you bought a CM1000-1AZNAS or a CM1000 (because again, the only difference in the "Versions" is the packaging!)

Did you read my post? 

My modem works as per your site the CM1000-1AZNAS is supported, unfortnately EVERY SINGLE CM1000-1AZNAS will report back you that it's a CM1000 because the only difference between the two models is literally who packaged it (NetGear for CM1000, Amazon for CM1000-1AZNAS).

My question is, if they are the EXACT same hardware, WHY is one suppported but not the other?

Even further, WHY is a DOCSIS 3.1 modem no longer supported to begin with?

@SirMeili we definitely are on the same page. You purchased the CM1000-1AZNAS modem which shows as compatible on our Device Info website. We would like to look further into this as your modem should be supported. We would need to access your account so we can ensure the modem was added correctly and to further help if that is not the cause.
