Yes, you are right.  If you must have a feature that's not available in AP mode, Router mode is a good choice.

Orbi will eventually redirect all clients to the correct/nearest Satellites, unless there's a weak signal problem with that particular Satellite.  I always leave my setup alone overnight after Orbi reboots/restarts for the dust to settle.  If my clients are not connected to the expected Satellite in the morning, it means that I need to look into that Satellite to ensure that it still provides proper WiFi signal in its area of coverage.

When you put the Orbi in Router mode, you might want to look into changing these NAT options:

• If you are using VOIP, on the WAN Setup page, disable SIP ALG by selecting Disable SIP ALG.
• If you are having problem with playing game on the console, you could try changing NAT filtering from Secured to Open.

NAT Filtering

This option determines how the router deals with inbound traffic. The Secured option provides a secured firewall to protect the PCs on LAN from attacks from the Internet, but it may cause some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications not to work. The Open option, on the other hand, provides a much less secured firewall, while it allows almost all Internet applications to work.
