What router works best with RBR20
What router works best with the Orbi RBR20? I have an older Arris SB6141 which is an 8x4 DOCSIS3.0. I am only paying for 100MB with my ISP (Charter/Spectrum) but I am getting about 200MB during speed...

Didn't mean to offend. Was going off of "What router works best". (I am terribly literal.)
From a brief Google search of "Spectrum downstream channels", it appears that that Spectrum's higher speed service uses 32 channels.

It is my modem, not a lease. I save $60 a year by not leasing... I understand I only need a modem and not a combo modem/router given I have an Orbi. I have had my modem for a few years and they had been on the market for several years prior to that. I want to future-proof. So a 3.1 that is on the approved list would be recommended? Is the channels something to consider? 16, 32, etc... Thanks

Please, no offense taken. I obviously answer literal as well. I completely understand the purpose of note about not needing the combo. Thanks for the responses. I will look into the options. I appreciate the information.
