orbi cable router or plain cable router to add to orbi system?

Your best option would be to by a stand alone modem, NG CM1000 or 1100, or a Arris 6183 or 8200 or a Motorola MB7420 or 8600. Use a stand alone router with your current Orbi 50 series system. 

The CBK system is a stand alone gateway modem that only works in either gateway router mode or modem only mode. I think it would be a waste of money to but this system and use it in modem mode since you already have a good Orbi system. The wifi on the 50 series is faster than the 40 series as well.

I will be purchasing a cable router.  I have an Orbi RBR50 router and RBS 50 Satellite

 

I also plan to extend my network with an additional Satellite.

 

Can I using the CBR40 as a new base station and my existing RBR50 as a Satellite?

 

Or would it be better to get a cable modem with wi-fi turned off and extend my existing wi-fi with an additional RBS 50?
