I have Spectrum Extreme Internet service, with an Arris modem, Model: TM160ZA. Is that enough information for you guys to help me install the Orbi properly? Thanks again in advance!

Ok, just checking to see if the modem had a built in router already. Can cause problems. Your good here.
Just power OFF the modem and connect the Orbi router up. Power ON the modem first and let it sync then power ON the orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard with a PC connected to the router.
