does anyone know if the CBK40 will be compatible with rbr850

I have two rbr850 systems in my house. Wonder if the Orbi Whole Home WiFi System with Built-in Cable Modem (CBK40) will work with them.

    No, however if you bridge the CBR into modem mode, you can connect the RBK8 series system up and use it has your host router and wifi.

     

    You can use the RBS from the CBK system, however they would need to be ethernet connected to the Orbi AX system. Orbi AC RBS are not wirelessly compatible iwth Orbi AX.
