What speeds are you paying for and who's your isp?
It might be just worth upgrading the modem and keeping the orbi if its meeting your needs.

Xfinity 1200 down.
I also worry about security even though I do have Armor. I definitely want to have a router that will have firmware updates

the cm700 doesn't support multigig on xfinity.
I'd look at getting one of the next gen devices that xfinity supports for your modem.

Thanks. The reason I didn't go with a higher modem is the Orbi RBR40 only goes to 866mbps. Would the Orbi/satellites work in the configuration I am suggesting? Chain Modem- New Router-OrbiRBR40/satellites
