I would like to connect the cable modem via WIFI to the ORBI AP box - how is this done
No can do. As CrimpOn says, the Orbi router has to be wired to the modem.
The way to connect things to the wifi is to use an Orbi satellite to connect to the Orbi router.
You can plug Ethernet devices into the Orbi satellite. Not enough LAN ports? Plug a switch into the satellite and connect things to that.
If you want to wire the Orbi satellite to the Orbi router you can user Powerline Ethernet to connect them.
f you cannot run a cable, then the router unit must be located close enough to the ISP device to connect with a cable.
hahahhaha I need a wireless cable
