RBR40

I have an rbr40 with two satelite rbr30's..........I also have xfinity rented modem with voice(phone) service........Is there anything to buy from orbi that will replace xfinity modem and still have voice......Would love to drop the xfinity modem and lose the monthly rental fee.....but I don't want to lose existing phone service with existing number.

Re: RBR40

Xfinity supports BYOM and you can buy your own modem to use on there system. Find out what they support first before you buy. 

I believe NG's CM1000/1100 series modems are supported on XF...

Re: RBR40

Netgear has multiple modems with voice options available. Not specifically an orbi device but a modem/voice device.

These are just 2 from doing a quick search. A little time with google would show more.

You are SO LUCKY.  My service is through Spectrum (previously Time Warner, now part of Charter).  The ONLY option Charter provides for voice service is an MTA that MUST be rented.  Ca-Ching. Every month, forever.
