Orbi Issues

I just replaced my Mediacom router with a new Netgear Nighthawk modem/router. Do I need to restore my Orbi to original factory settings and start over? Thnx

You'll need to place your orbi in AP mode or you'll run into a double nat situation.  I'd start with resetting the orbi and starting fresh, helps prevent conflicts.
