Orbi and Xfinity
I’m looking to add Orbi for a larger home and wanted the latest version. I was thinking of adding to the latest Xfinity Gateway and saw how that is possible, but is there also a new Orbi version that ...
There hasn't currently been an Orbi AX Modem released. Or announced that I've seen.
I'd recommend separating them out anyway so the ISP doesn't control the firmware on it. And then its easier to upgrade or replace a unit if something goes wrong.

Thanks for replying! So I am clear, you are suggesting dropping the Xfinity gateway so it is a cleaner setup? Is the older Orbi modem compatible with the new models that have been released? If anyone has any recommendations on the right model for Xfinity service, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
I just mean running the modem seperate from the router is a good plan.
Something like the CM1000/CM1100 work great with orbi.
