Orbi Tri-RBK50 – supporting 600MB

[Pcryan5]

Sorry for the newbie question.

I have a NETGEAR Orbi Tri-band Whole Home Mesh WiFi System with 3Gbps Speed (RBK50). My ISP is telling me if I want to take advantage of their 600MB speed offer I need to ditch the Orbi which I had hoped to use in bridge mode. Toss it.  

Before I order the high speed modem I would be interested in your thoughts on this?

There are several active threads about how well Orbi supports gigabit speed.  Mine certainly does 250mb with no trouble.

Technically, Orbi does not have a "bridge" mode.  Is the ISP suggesting a "modem only", or a combination "modem/WiFi/router"?

Thanks for the note!

I would place the ISP modem in bridge modem and Susie my ORBI to provide wi-if.

 Thanks

I think they are blowing smoke up your skirt.  i.e. perhaps mean well, but are not informed.
