Using Orbi CBR40 as strictly router?
How do I use the ORBI CBR40 as strictly a wifi router with a Spectrum supplied modem? There are no ethernet "inputs" into the CBR40.

The product data sheet on page 4 is specific, What do I need? "High speed cable internet." The CBR40 replaces the Spectrum modem.
It is not designed to connect to a modem. It is the modem. (If you had a fiber ONT rather than a cable coax, then you would be screwed.)
