CBR750 — Orbi WiFi 6 DOCSIS 3.1 Mesh WiFi Cable Modem Router

Hello All, we recently purchased the CBR750 — Orbi WiFi 6 DOCSIS 3.1 Mesh WiFi Cable Modem Router system two months ago while we had Spectrum Cable. We now switched to Fios and can’t figure out if this router is capable of an Ethernet “in” (source) so we can use the system. It only has a cable input and 4 Ethernet outputs. Is there a way to configure one of the Ethernet ports that is signal out to signal in? Apologies, if my terminology is incorrect. I’m dreading telling my wife the $670 system we purchased two months ago is useless with the new Fios fiber as it’s connection of a system Ethernet va cable. Any assistance would be appreciated. - bryan

The CBR requires the use of the coax cable line to connect to a cable ISP system. 

 

The only thing you can do is to turn the CBR into a faux AP mode and use it as a wireless access point behind another router: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-with-Built-in-Cable-Modem/Orbi-CBR40-connecting-to-AT-amp-T-21...
