can my cm1150v work with either lb1120 or mr1100 for lte cell backup of home network orbi rbr50
HELLO has anyone experience with using cm1150v with either lb1120 or mr1100 for lte cell backup of home network that has a orbi rbr50 in router mode attached to its two satellites and gs748tv4 switch. I want security and ring doorbell to keep workiing when Xfinity connection wich runs fine five out of six days keeps locking on errors caused by bad building cable. Would there be a way with or without additional equipment to load balance so when Xfinity fails LTE could keep devices running for 15 minute reboot

No. The CM1150v is a cable modem which connects only to a cable ISP coax service line. YOu can connect a Orbi Wifi router mesh system to the CM1150v for internet service throughout the home.

Guru, Thanks for quick response I guess I wasnt't very clear. I have and will have Xfinity as primary on cm1150v and want to get cellular failover backup so my ring doorbells camera security and amazon keep working when my modem needs reset due to very marginal cable and numbers that are at end of or over range. It usually takes over 15 minutes total to reset cm11t0v and orbi during that time no routines light/fan control old doorbell ringer still goes off but you cant see who is there and no other ring cameras work. It would be cool if it could do load balancing (90 10) Xfinity is about 10 times faster but cellular data more expensive or kick in if Xfinity is slow (below 40 about to loose connection usually over 180) or very high usage often seems to fail here also.

Still not possible.
You shouldn't be having to reset the modem or Orbi very often. If you are then there is a different problem that needs to be figured out.
