Do I need a modem?
I just purchased my orbi. I do not need a modem with my internet company but the orbi is asking for a modem. Do I have to have a modem or can I get around that?

If you get plain ethernet with DHCP from your ISP (at least that's how I'd interpret "I do not need a modem with my internet company"), your orbi should just work, or rather - the setup assistant will detect the network and its internet uplink and select ethernet+dhcp for you.
