Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi with Cable Modem products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi with Cable Modem and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

We were having tons of issues getting it set up and ended up just using Googles mesh system they offered but our orbi would do better.
Does this model allow ethernet or just coax to be the internet input? would it be stupid to get an ethernet to coax connector?
