Upgrade from RBS50 to CBK752, yay or nay?
Hi all, I have been a happy camper with RBS50 for 4+ years. I have recently switched from DSL (can't wait for fiber any longer) to Xfinity, and I am thinking of upgrading to CBK752 so that it is ...
Thanks! I actually did not realize that the modem portion of firmware of CBK is not getting updated. That definitely changes my plan! Perhaps I will follow your setup to get a NG CM!
I notice that you have RBK853 and you probably had RBK50 before, Is RBK853 worth the extra?
The modem portion does get updated however not as frequent as the router portion.
CM series modems are good.
I have enjoyed the Orbi AX. Though one item that doesn't work well is NEST controllers. Seem problematic on Orbi AX systems. I don't see this problem on the RBK50 series when I have it online. Other then that, the 8 series is pretty good. Has great coverage and performance. I can't really compare it to the 7 series however knowing that the 7 doesn't have a 2.5Gb WAN port and wireless front haul speeds are just a bit lower than the 8 series, over all, there close to being the same.
If you have AX supporting devices, then it maybe something to check in to. Try one out...
