Possible however thats something to ask your ISP about to see what there requirements are. If thats something they support then the RBR should work in it's place. Contact the ISP first and get this information.

They did say that as long the router was Fiber enabled, FTTP or FTTC then it should be ok. Cant find this info on the netgear site though. Thanks Chris

Ya, thats not something Orbi systems support. So you'll need to use there Modem/ONT as the interface to there services and connect the RBR to the modem/ONT. RBK systems don't have built in modems/ONT. Only the CBR40 and CBR750 have built in cable modems and these work only on cable ISPs, not Fiber/FTTC.
