It is most unlikely that you will be able to ditch the modem, unless you have something like a fibre-optic link into your home.
Tell us what the existing modem is, the make and model number, and it should be easy to advise you.
It can be as simple as plugging the Orbi into the modem, or it may take a small tweak to disable some of its features. Rest assured that it does not take a PhD in network engineering to set this up, so you should be OK.
