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:
finally switched out my rental modem for an NG CM1000 purchased via Amazon.
took about 30 minutes of back and forth, tried it on my own but had to call dreaded Comcast customer service.
steps i took.
1-connect power and coax to modem - turn on - wait 5 minutes for all to turn green
2-connected the modem to the PC via ethernet cable - follow prompts wouldn't connect - had to call Comcast and they entered the modem MAC address and the PC was able to connect.
3, then disconnected the PC and connected the modem to ORBI, then connected the PC to ORBI. - wouldn't connect at first had to power cycle everything 2x to get the handshakes working correctly
4 all working now - returning my modem later today via UPS
