I have an AT&T uverse modem/router and the Orbi. Uverse continually has problems that I need to call AT&T about and the first thing I have to do is disconnect the Orbi or they blame all the problems ...

What you suggest is to use the Orbi router as a wifi access point.
There is a manual for the Orbi WiFi System somewhere at the end of this link:

Great, that's exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would have liked to hang onto was a visitor network, but it's not that important.
