Orbi setup: AC2200/RBK30 connecting to netgear modem CM500

Remove the R3400 router and use the Orbi router as your main host router.

I just bought an ORBI AC2000/RBK30 and followed the orbi setup instructions.  My iphone could not recognize the orbi device to complete the set up.  This is what I did so far... Should I set up using my laptop hardwire to ORBI rather than thru my iphone ?

 

- disconnect my netgear wifi router from modem

- hook up orbi to my modem

- download orbi app from apple store

- turned on my wifi on the iphone

- got a message saying ORBI device not found.

 

Should I set up using my laptop hardwire to ORBI rather than thru my iphone ?  Please help!  Any advice is appreciated!
