    You want to use the ASUS as the modem in front of the Orbi?

     

    Extend what? The WiFi?

     

    You can put the Orbi router into Access Point mode.

     

    If you want to add the ASUS to the Orbi network, then you'd do better asking the people who made it.

     

    The ASUS won't do the "MESH" thing like the Orbi.

     

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
