AX4200 WiFi Mesh System (CBK752) Is it good to use?
I'm looking to replace my Spectrum modem and router. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use the Orbi Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh System with Built-in Cable Modem, 4.2Gbps, Modem Router Combo + 1 Satellit...

I don't have any splitters or anything, Just one cable going from the wall coax to the modem.
It is unusual for a residential dwelling to have zero splitters. Typically, cable lines run from the drop (mine is on a pole in the back yard) to the house, where a splitter is used to run cables to locations in the house where the customer wanted to locate television sets. There is often a separate coax cable to the location of the data modem.
I even have a splitter where the Tivo box requires a Tuning Adapter to manage switched digital video channels.
The phone issue remains. Ditch Spectrum phone, and you have more options (and more responsibility).

I meant I don't have splitters from the wall to my modem. I don't know about anywhere else. I do plan on getting rid og the phone line. Just have to figure out the best solution for thr modem and router. I wish I could just ditch Spectrum completely, but they are the only ones to provide good internet speeds for what I need.
