There's no issue of "compatability". It's about throughput and load-balancing.

The VMNG300 can do 4 downstream channels maximum, so theoretically 200Mb.
However some areas have been upgraded to 6 or 8 downstream channels to distribute the load better between the channels. In those areas, being stuck on 4 channels might only give 85 or 105Mb or whatever. You'd only know once you try.

In modem mode both Superhubs are good. Better than the VMNG300 as they have 8 downstream channels and 4 upstream channels to distribute the load better.

Wifi wise the Superhub1 is still poor (because that's a hardware antenna issue), the Superhub2 is ok.
If you're using your own wireless router you probably won't notice any difference, except for the increased speed.
