Orbi Mesh Router

Question

I am looking to exchnage out my Optimum Router with an Orbi Mesh Router... Just not sure if it will work. Looking for any advice. Thank you

More information is required, such as the specific model of Optimum device.

Orbi WiFi routers do not include cable or fiber connections. They require a cable modem or a fiber ONT.

So, if the Optimum is a combination unit which includes the ISP media connection, you either have to purchase a replacement or keep the device and perhaps put it into "modem only" mode. (often called "bridge" or "passthrough" mode).
