Fios Quantum router with orbi RBR50/RBS50

I have the Fios for internet only. Should i turn of the WiFi on the fios router and just use to orbi? Or should I use the Fios as router and put the Orbi in AP mode? Thanks

    AP mode would have more performance as it woudn't have to process as much data as if it was in router mode.

Yes. But in terms of performance, speed ,distance is AP mode a compromise?
