Looking to use Orbi to replace Verizon Fios modem with no STBs but with 1gb internet and telephone

Looking to use Orbi to replace Verizon Fios modem with no STBs but with 1gb internet and telephone

New to the forum.  Looking to dump Verizon FIOS modem that caps out at 300mbs speeds.  Paying for 1gb and can't access it with FIOS gear.  Also have 4,000 sqft to support with coverage and barely getting any signal past 2900 ft. with exisiting bridge network.

Hoping to buy an Orbi modem/router combo (AC2200) with a satelite or two to handle the job all in one.

We've cut the cord on STBs so just using FIOS pipe for internet and voice.  I've seen some mentions that "voice" is not campatible with the ORBI setup but candidily I'm not clear as to what context.  

Any help as to if this modem/router and mesh network setup is compatible with Verizon FIOS internet and telephone?

Thanks

You need to contact your ISP first and see what non ISP provided modems are supported on there system. 


The CBK40 doesn't support phone connections. The NG CM1150v does. If they support this modem, you could get into this modem and then attach a RBK50 series Orbi system to this modem.
