I haven't done it with pihole but usually you disable dhcp on the netgear and enable it on pihole. In theory, the devices should look for the pihole as advertised server. But with pihole its a little more user intensive so just be aware of that.
Should be able to find disable dhcp in the orbi here: ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
