Thank you for this info and for getting on this so quickly, I actually looked at that table earlier today and could not find the RBS750P... The house is 4000sqft (longish, too). Since I wanted to eliminate one device I felt that Xfinity only made the CBR750 an option.

Look for other RBS750s on Amazon, ebay or shopgoodwill.
