I would set the unify AP to channel 1. Farthest channel from the Orbis channel is recommended.
If you set a static IP address on the AP thats out side of the Orbis default DHCP IP address pool, then the AP will always have an IP address and have internet services thru the RBR. So if you set 192.168.1.100 to .200 for a default IP address pool range on the RBR. Then set a static of 192.168.1. 2 thru .99 or 201 thru 253 on the AP, this would be a valid configuration that should work for you.
Orbi will only recognize Orbi RBS models in this system. Addin a non Orbi AP won't effect anything.
