Is the CBK750 compatible with the AX6000 series (RBK853)

I don't see a cable modem built in for the AX6000 series (RBK853), so I am wondering if the CBK750 is compatible with the AX6000 series (RBK853) if I want to replace my cable modem but have the ultra performance of the AX6000 series (RBK853).

 

Thanks

 

PS would have be nice if they had made a cable modem replacement for the AX6000 series (RBK853).

  • If you already have RBK853, dont buy CBK750. Just get a modem to put in front (such as CM2000).

    Please make sure your ISP supports CM2000 before you purchase.

  • RBK are router only "Kits". No built in modem. CBR or CBK's are Orbi systems with a built in modem. 

    I presume the RBS7 and 8 series from the RBK7 and 8 series kits maybe compatible with the CBR750 as this is a AX supporting system. Something to ask NG support about to get there official word on.

    IF you already have a RBK8 series system, I would avoid getting the CBR750 and get a NG CM1000, 1100,1200 or CM2000. The CM2000 would be best was both the RBK8 and CM2000 support 2.5Gb connection rates on there WAN ports. Mine works great with the CM2000.
