Orbi CBR 750 just swiched ISP's now need to bypass modem.

Just switched to Frontier fiber, can I still use my Orbi 750 and bypass the modem functionality or do I need a new router?

  • The CBR is for Cable system ISPs. Fiber is a completely different system and not cable supporting. 

    The CBR only works in gateway or modem only mode. You can configure the CBR for a faux AP mode and use it what way. This does work. You'll need a new router to interface with the Fiber ONT still.
