Is there a way to get the Orbi to get the speeds from fiber, or is it too slow to handle being both the modem and the router at the same time?
It sounds like this C4000gx is your router and you're asking if you can run the Orbi instead for routing (you don't seem to need a mode). The Orbi should, many of us use our Orbi as the router and get close to gigabit speeds (wired).
