Can I use an Orbi RBK20w if I have a home phone line?

Do you have cable or DSL?
The RBK20w is a router and satellite system. You need a modem device to connect between this router and your ISP, DSL, Cable or Fiber.
Is your phone line from the phone service or your ISP?

There should be a modem. What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

This is a hot mess. We would need 2 RJ45 to RJ11 adapters. We have an Arris BGW210 gateway that I’m assuming we’d have to bridge or buy a modem. I’m not sure this is worth the headache!
