Unable to answer as the Orbi router I had did not mesh with my Spectrum router. Once I had everything hooked and connected, I found that my phone system failed to function. Disconnecting the system was necessary to retain my phone service.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have the option of continuing to use your Comcast combo device's MAC filter settings and running the Orbi in Access Point mode alongside it. Instructions for setting the Orbi up in AP mode are located beginning on page 83 of the User Manual: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50#docs.
