I believe my isp is PPPoe. I am thinking about going with Motorola MD1600 since it’s compatible with my isp and I am having a hard time finding Netgear dsl adsl2+ modems or modem router combos. I will try the Motorola MD1600 then get the Orbi RBK50.

Heaven only knows why anyone would mention the issue if it is not relevant to Centurylink. After all, you did say that was the ISP from the outset.
