I was thinking of purchasing the ORBI WiFi 6 (CBR750) to replace my cable modem/router, and thus eliminate a $15 monthly rental fee from my cable company.
The cable company uses ARRIS but does not care which modem I purchase as long as it is DOCSIS 3.1 compatible. My other option is an ARRIS Surfboard G36.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
In my opinion, you are making a mistake to purchase a combination modem/router.
Purchase a good DOCSIS 3.1 modem with a 2.5 Gb output port. Then you can match up with your choice of modems. Go with a mesh system or use your existing R8000P devices as long as you configure one of them as a wired access point.
