Thats the recommended method to do this in, however it's not set in stone. You can disable the wifi on the ISP modem and power cycle the Orbi system and leave the other devices on and after the Orbi is online, those devices should reconnect automatically.

I had figured out that the ISP WiFi would need to be turned off. And I was aware of the three options and had selected the AP mode after slogging through tons of posts back in Feb for my original setup.
My question was about the specific steps... is it possible with everything working to simply "turn off" the ISP WiFi with out power cycling the Orbi base, switch, and orbi satelites and perhaps every single device currently working on the network... all 15 of them. The videos and instructions begin with everything turned off downstream of the ISP modem.
