RBS 20 compatibility

Hello-

 

I am currently using an ORBI CBR40 with two RBS20s in the far reaches of the house.

 

The cable company wants me to upgrade my modem and is lists the ORBI  CBR750 as a compatoble device; will I still be able to use the RBS 20s with it, or am I also required to upgrade the extenders?

 

Thanks,

 

King Williams

    No you wouldn't be able to use the RBS20's with the newer AX router. 

    What speeds do you pay for? 

    The CBR40 is a pretty solid docsis 3.0 device and is rated pretty high for coax cable speeds. 

    Might just be the ISP pushing to move you to a docsis 3.1 device.
