Verizon vs Comcast connecting to ORBI
purchased from Amazon as RBK33 (base and 2 satellites) but manual refers to it as a RBR40 my satellites are RBW30 - each are currently $142 on Amazon - but they sell the base router and 2 satellites...
Good it's all working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
Some ISPs have specific HW requirements for getting internet to customers. Verizon mostly use ONTs to convert there services from fiber optic to LAN cable RJ45 that Orbi needs to communicate with ISP services. Verizon doesn't use cable modems or any modems on there service. So connecting up the Orbi to the ONT would all that would be needed.
i may just stay with Comcast and not switch to Verizon.
Any recommendations s on best modem to purchase for 1gb service if i stay with comcast ?- i am renting a Technicolor from Comcast but thinking i should buy one and save $14 per month/$168 year.
I would want to keep the ability to hard wire a desktop PC into the modem - while connecting Orbi to another connecton.
See if CC supports NG's CM1100. I love mine on a 1G service. And you can connect two routers behind it. :smileyvery-happy:
how about the NG CM1000? speeds up to 1GB - current price on Amazon is $163.99

The RBR40 has three ethernet jacks on the back which the PC can be wired into. Is there a specific reason this is not acceptable?
i didn't want verizon to have to run wires thru my house just to avoid the hassle that an ISP tech brings........i got a loyalty discount of $15 from Comcast when i threatened to switch to Verizion so if i purchase a modem my final bill from Comcast would be $90/mth for 1gb service......if they remove the loyalty discount after a year i will reconsider jumping to Verizon.
