Just something to consider...
It's simpler to use a standalone modem, but one important drawback is that when Orbi fails for any reason, you will lose network access until you can fix or replace the Orbi HW. With the cable/router combo, you can quickly restore your network access and give you time to recover from Orbi failure. It's better to have a backup that you don't always need than to not have one when you need it most.
