What comes before the WAN cable? (a modem or a combination modem/router?)

I sense that the ISP modem is located where the switch is and where all the existing ethernet cables meet at a patch panel, and that for some reason you do not want the router to be located there?

Hi,
Thanks. Before the WAN cable is a direct feed from my ISP fiber box. I have tested the ports from the switch and they work fine with the orbi in regular mode (router + satellite w wireless backhaul).
