Modem to accompany my Orbi RBR50

Hi, I have an ORBI RBR 50 with an ORBI satellite.

I use a rented Xfinity modem but would like to replace it with with my own modem.

The Xfinity modem is an ARRIS T25 cable modem with voice.

Can someone suggest a modem that would work well with my Orbi set-up?

Thanks.

    SB8200 is approved by Comcast and I've been using it with my RBR50.  Check out the review comments on Amazon.

    IF you need phone support with the modem, you can review NetGears CM1150v modem. Has phone support if you need this feature. Make sure the ISP you have supports it.

      Thanks for the recommendations, especially on the Comcast-approved SB8200.

      II will look into it.
