Orbi WiFi System

Is the Orbi WiFi system just an extender or do we not pay for WiFi anymore and only use the Orbi? I am unsure of how this works. I am trying to get all answers before we buy. Thank you in advance.

So you do not have to have wifi set up in your home. Orbi takes care of it all?

Using the Orbi router and just 1 satellite in my 5000sq ft home works very nicely. Stellar coverage and performance.
