Yes, thats the setting. Changed to NO and this puts the modem in to modem only mode. Then use the RBR in router mode.
To access the modems web page, you'll need to access it via 192.168.100.1 I believe when it's in modem only mode. Since the router portion is disabled, the 192.168.0.1 no longer works.

I can reach each interface through my web browser on my PC but why would the Orbi app itself direct me to the other router?

The Orbi has newer technology, faster speeds and a better application. I would like to think it's better or at least give it a chance. Should I move everything over, would I need to change the c7000v2 to "router mode" "no" and change Orbi back to Router Mode from AP, correct?

I would change the Orbi back to router first, then attempt to change the C7000. Once again, I am no expert, but I am puzzled that I cannot find any obvious way to put this device into "bridge" or "passthrough" mode.
