Ok. If I nix the router and just kept the Orbi system what would be the best settings for streaming content and gaming? I am having some issues with streaming on my Apple TV at the moment and with upload speed. My provider said it wasn't them and that it may be the router.

First, the provider always says, "It's not our network, it's your equipment." The way to confirm that is to connect directly to their modem and run tests. This is probably not practical with Apple TV unless the modem and TV are located in the same room.
Which model of Apple TV is this and how is it positioned relative to the Orbi?
I have the latest model 4K Apple TV and it is located about 2 feet from the router directly connected.

This is great. It should be easy to connect the Apple TV directly to the ISP modem (for a test, of course, since that will kill Internet access for everything else in the house).
I will give it a try. For the XboxOneS, it must be something to do with the port forwarding settings I'm guessing right?
