RBR50
I have the Orbi RBR50 wireless router and need to update my modem. I'm considering a NetgearCM1200 - how do I find out if the Orbi is compatible with the modem? Thanks.

The critical issue is whether the modem is compatible with the Internet Service Provider(ISP). Check the ISP web site.
Note that the Product Data Sheet specifically mentions Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox.
