I currently have a RBR40 Tri-Band Mesh System with RBS40 Satellites. I am moving to an area where the only ISP is via the local cable company. Will the CBR40 work with my RBS40 Satellites?

So you would recommend something like this instead? https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/cable-modems-routers/cm1200.aspx and just connect my RBR40 system to it?

If its compatible with your isp it'd work. I'd get the cm1000 or the cm1100 over the cm1200.
Most don't undertand that even through the cm1200 has 4 ports, only 1 is usable for most users. Those with a router that supports wan link aggregation can use ports 1 & 2. (that orbi doesn't)
