I would like to use the Orbi in AP mode however r it shows that I need to use an Cable to connect my Cable modem to the Orbi . this is very impractical because No i would have to run cabling ...
All Orbi models are designed to use an Ethernet connection from the WAN port to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) equipment. (As are the WiFi systems from almost every manufacturer.) If you cannot run a cable, then the router unit must be located close enough to the ISP device to connect with a cable. Orbi satellites are designed to connect back to the router over WiFi.
That is how they work. No cable: no connection. Period.
