If you already bought the RBK53s, and your changing to a cable ISP, find a cable modem that is approved on the cable ISPs approved list. You can buy one of these at online retailers. Or you can use an ISP provided modem, ask them about a stand alone modem only if they have one. Once you have a cable modem, you'll need to have the ISP associate the modem on there system. Something to contact them about.
Once it's online with the ISP, you can connect the Orbi RBR to the modem and setup the Orbi system for your needs. The RBK53s needs a modem or ONT connect too to get ISP and Internet services thru it.

The cable company (Comcast) said we need a modem that is on their approved list. Well, Orbi AC3000 RBK53S is NOT but they do have CBR750 and other Netgear products.
How can we go forward with our purchase of Orbi AC3000 RBK53S?
