Modem to use with RBKE962

Hello, Has anyone got a suggestion on which cable modem to use with the Orbi RBKE962 system? I use Xfinity and would rather buy my own equipment.   Thanks

    Hey Furry, thanks.
    I should have mentioned it in my original post but I need one that accepts Xfinity voice. I do appreciate your quick response. Thank you!!

Check to see if NGs CM2000 modem is supported by XF.

    Ok, the v version will be the one you want then.

     

    Be sure you use a CAT6A STP cable between the modem and RBR.

     

    Enjoy.

      Thank you for reminding me about the CAT6e cable. I had read about that being the preferred cable earlier.

        That's CAT6A STP. There is no CAT6e.
