This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,

2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopI would try option #1...

My Modem Netgear C3700 and all the wireless setting are off but the modem side
The PC which conneted the netgear c3700 modem directly has 100Mbps(my Internet speed limit 100mbps)

I only did disable the wifi before I thoutgh that would fix the double NAT problem which it didn't but I wasn't sure how to do bridge or what would do to modem, so I just found out how to bridge the modem/router and getting the internet direct from orbi router.
Thank you
