It means that the Orbi router has no modem built into it. It has no Coax connector on the back that the Cox cable would plug into.
So, Cox is correct. You must have a DOCSIS cable modem on Cox's "approved list" (of which there will be dozens). You choose: (a) rent it from Cox and thus Cox is totally responsible for it, or (b) buy one yourself and save the monthly fee, but then if something goes wrong with it, it is your responsibility. Gazillions of people have decided that a break-even of under two years means that they can throw the modem away if it breaks, and they simply buy one. You pick.
Once you have a modem, the Orbi is entirely compatible with Cox (Spectrum, Frontier, AT&T, etc. etc.)
