You should be able to add an Orbi system to your existing network. I did.

But it may need some tweaking. For example, you will probably want to ensure that you have just one router on the network. So turn off the router bit of the modem, or use the Orbi as a wireless access point.

But this may be the killer bit:

I would rather it be a wireless mesh network rather than create a hardwire access point.

I see no indication that Orbo supports WDS, so it will not work as a repeater.

In my case the Orbi is set up as a wireless access point, but it sits at the end of a Powerline ethernet network.
