Modem suggestions please for Orbi RBK50
I have an Orbi RBK50 AC3000 Set up at home with a single satellite. I am not happy with my current modem and I want to upgrade and I am looking for modem suggestions. I am happy to pay for quality as...
I've used both the CM1000 and the CM1100 with orbi and both worked well without any drops/problems .
I have a few questions for you:
1) What ISP do you have,
2) What modem are you currently using (A modem you purchased yourself, An ISP-supplied modem (or modem-wireless router combo)?
3) What internet speed are you paying for?
4) What specifically are you “not happy” about with your current modem?

It is a standard ISP supplied modem. My current modem drops out and is sluggish. It recently went down for five days for no apparent reason. My speed is 100/40.
- I was going to say most ISP modems in my experience aren’t very good and it’s best to buy your own (as stated above, a 3.1 DOCSIS modem is what to get if you want to future proof). Make sure you return the ISP’s modem if they charge you a rental fee (most still do from my understanding).
