“Can I use a Coaxial to Ethernet adapter to plug Orbi AC3000 into my cable ISP? If not, why is an Internet modem required? I don’t want two large devices (Orbi AND Netgear Modem/Router) on my home office shelf. Current Netgear AC1750 Model C6300 is weak.”

A cable modem is required if your ISP provider is a typical cable provider over coaxial wiring. The Orbi does not have this function as it is only a router, not a modem. There are products out there that are combination modem/routers but this isn’t one of them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don’t think such an adapter exists- this device does not include a cable modem, so one will be required. Netgear does however offer the Orbi CBK40, which does include a cable modem and a satellite to provide mesh networking. The added advantage of this is that if you already currently leasing a modem from your ISP, you will no longer be required to. One disadvantage is that the CBK40 is AC2200, netgear however still boasts that the cbk40 is capable of covering 4000 sq ft. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-orbi-ac2200-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-system-with-32x8-docsis-3-0-modem-2-pack-white/6250962.p?skuId=6250962&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1266837&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1266837&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsMDeBRDMARIsAKrOP7FCkOvqewkZVws4uhYNxlemmI4zQzU8jAkFsGgppgKtyCPjt2g589QaAlXaEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Hope that helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The RBK50 Orbi router system is strictly a powerful router that was designed to blanket up to approximately 5,000 sq. ft. under its Tri-Band mesh network. It does not have a built-in modem, so an Ethernet connection to your home's modem is required. If you would prefer a device with a built-in modem, we recommend looking at our CBK40 system: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-orbi-ac2200-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-system-with-32x8-docsis-3-0-modem-2-pack-white/6250962.p?skuId=6250962
