I will be replacing my surfboard tomorrow…. With no tech help. Will be a DOCSIS 3.1 surfboard.

Is this a straightforward thing or am I opening myself up to connectivity failure should I fumble the install?

If this is your cable modem/router all you need to do is call the cable company to ping it and activate it because it has a unique address. Everything else just plug and play.

Decided to do it today. Success.

What was I so worried about?
