Should I use CM1150v with Orbi RBR50 or Xfi wifi 6?
I was just given used CM1150v modem with a Orbi RBR50 router with a RBS50 Satellite included. I currently have a rented Xfi gateway wifi 6 (modem/router combo). Not sure which is better overall

Best is what suits you. If the modem and Orbi work, then you can save yourself the cost of the rental.
Modem/router combinations generally have fewer features than standalone devices. And with a cable modem/router you are probably stuck with the original firmware. Updates are down to the ISP.
Orbi is generally better for wifi than you'll find on a modem/router.
