Check first with your ISP to see what they support before buying.

 

NGs CM1000, 1100, 1200, 2000 are all stand alone modems. CAX80 and CBR750 are gateway modems with built in router and wifi. 

All 1Gb supporting on the WAN side. the CM2000, CAX80 support 2.5Gbps WAN port connections with external routers such as the RBK8 series.

If you want a Orbi system, it's suggested to get a CM series modem only and then get a Orbi AC or AX system.

Check the spec sheets of the modems, and Orbi systems to see what interests you and your needs. 

 

Good Luck.
