ORBI- Can it be used with non-Netgear routers?

Hi, I recently bought an Orbi Router/Satelitte system from a friend. I'm just wondering if it should work with any modem or if it has to be Netgear? My modem is Arris.

 

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

      Some people also like to use Orbi systems with non-Netgear routers.

       

      To do that, it helps to put the Orbi router into wireless access point modem
