Cable modem compatible with Orbi RBR50

I just subscribed to Charter Spectrum and would like a modem that is compatible with both Charter cabel and an Orbi RBR50 with one satellite?   One member of the community recommended a Netgear CM1000 for an Orbi RBK43, but we have different models.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any cable modem will work just fine with orbi as for charter I would check with them the cable modems they support and pick the best one for yourself.

      Darren, thank you for getting back to me.  Unfortunately, my Orbi RBR50 will not connect to the Arris TM1602A modem supplied by Spectrum. Believe me, I've tried several possibilities  It looks like I may have to connect the Orbi to the Spectrum supplied router through the Orbi's Access Point Mode to see if that will work.  Nothing's easy and I learned that the hard way.  :)   Again, thank you.
