I would ask the Mfr of that VPN to see if Orbi is compatible.
NG already uses OpenVPN I believe on there systems.

if you're installing it to your computer and just want it on there, it doesn't really matter what router you're running. it'll vpn fine.
If you're wanting it for all devices, then you need a compatible vpn provider.
