orbi RBK12
Is the Orbi RBK12 compatible with the Netgrear AC1750 cable modem

Orbi routers, any routers, don't care about the modem that sits in front of them.
However, you can have problems if you buy a modem/router rather than a simple modem.
AC1750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Modems don lt do wifi, which means that there is no such thing as an AC1750 Netgear cable modem.
The C6300 Cable Modem Router is AC1750, but unless you want to use the RBK12 in AP mode you might do better to opt for a CMXXXX modem. Check with your ISP for compatible devices.
