This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

How is it connected so as not to interfere with the current router's Wi-Fi? Customer Service was not very helpful (and took way too long to answer the phone).
I am also concerned with all the poor reviews posted by Costco customers.
A little too complicated for my old body. I will just wait until I switch over to Spectrum. I am just waiting for them to release a "whole house" DVR.
