Cannot connect Orbi router to existing wifi

Question

hey guys, I am trying to set up my new orbi (rbk50) system and I am having a difficult time connecting to my current wifi, or I guess making it an access point. I have a lot of deadspots in the house so it makes more sense to be a full extention of my current wifi. Anyways, I followed the directions of setting to AP, but can't figure out where to go from there. My cameras are connected to my regular wifi but orbi still is connected to orbi. What's more, the advanced setup page "cannot be found" now. Any help would be appreciated.

so do you have ethernet running from your current router to the orbi router ?

if no you need to

if yes you then turn off the wifi in your current router and run the orbi routyer in ap mode behind the current router and connected by ethernet you then use the orbi router for all wifi and the current router as just your router
