The Orbi RBR50 WAN port maxes out at 1GB/s. The CM1100 modem is already capable of that speed and higher. There will be no gain from:

- Thanks for the quick reply, CrimpOn! Makes sense to me. Looks like I’ll stick to the old modem, for a couple of more years at least. Don’t want to go replace the whole setup. I appreciate it- have a great day!
