Does anyone know If there is a newer modem than the surfboard SB5101?

Currently I'm using that modem with a Dlink DIR-655

There are different modems. The SB5101 is a "Docsis 2" modem.
There is a faster "Docsis 3.0" modem, which Shaw gives out for for Warp and Nitro. The difference is the speed capability of the modem.

Even with Extreme internet the bottleneck is set by Shaw, not the SB5101.
