You can have to routers on the same network, however it's not recommended. You could use the XR routers DMZ for the Orbi if you wanted to run the Orbi as a router. I would disable the wifi on the XR router.
Or turn OFF the wifi on the XR router and configure the Orbi in AP modem, thus disabling the Orbis router and using the XR has the primary router.
