How to allocated ip?

Starhub is an Internet service provider via fibre ont. I also have voip service as well. Read that I need to set orbi on AP mode rather than router mode??

Will I lose routing capabilities?

    Presuming that your Internet device coming into your residence isn't assigning IP's to clients, you can look at your other router to determine what IP range it's allocating via DHCP.  Then have a look at the Orbi under the Advanced Setup tabs / LAN and match that to be the same as your other router.

     

    I think  you need to also understand why/who is recommending the Orbi to be run in AP mode.
