First check with the ISP to see what they support before buying.
NGs CM1000/1100 are recommended.

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Looks like my bandwidth is much lower than yours - perhaps that's one of the issues. Just not sure if they offer more than what I'm paying for now. I'll check. But per your notes - if I'm reading it right:
1) You use the Nighthawk AX8 as your cable modem and then use the Orbi RBK853 as your wifi router.
2) and then second your "additional" are other options/variations. Some with dedicated cable modem. And some like the CBK40 which is a combo cable modem/router.
For additional: do you recommend a dedicated cable modem over a cable modem/router combo?
Thanks for your help.
