If you are with Plusnet then you are using ADSL or VDSL (FTTC) which will require a modem. I don't think the Plusnet's combined modem/router allows you to put it in Bridge Mode (modem only).
You could buy a second hand Modem (HG612 ver 3B) off a well known auction site for around £15, or a Draytek Vigor 130 but these are much pricer.
If you had FTTP (if available in your area) then you would have automatically have an ONT (modem) which you could then plug the orbi straight into it, however I believe if you are with Plusnet then they don't currently offer any FTTP packages.

Something to reach out to the ISP about and see if they can help you get this working with out there hardware.
