Modems that are compatible for the Orbi RBK350
I need to buy a new modem which is compatible with the Orbi RBK350. My modem right now is a router and modem in one called the N3 700. I'm looking to update. I prefer the price to be under 300$.

The cable campany will provide a list of compatible modems. Look for DOCSIS 3.1
THE 350 WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OF THEM

Sorry. (how did caps lock get "on"? and when did modems get Body Odor?)
Each Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses specific equipment to deliver service:
- Some provide internet over a twisted pair connection that also provides voice service, called a Digital Subscriber Line. This requires a DSL capable modem on the customer end.
- Some provide internet over Coaxial cable, typically along with television and voice. This service requires a "cable modem".
- Some provide internet over optical fiber. This service requires an Optical Network Terminator (ONT).
Netgear routers, including the RBR350 are compatible with all of these devices. What I intended to say was, "Consult the ISP web site to see which cable modems are compatible with their service" (assuming that "modem" referred to a typical cable modem such as those used by Cox, Xfinity, Spectrum.
