Ap mode
I have my orbi in ap mode but the host device has no firewall capability. How can I get a firewall set up as the orbi in ap mode doesn't utilize a firewall

AP mode doesn't support firewall features.
If your host router doesn't have a built in firewall, then put the RBR back in router mode that has firewall features enabled, and use it in router mode. Just use the host routers DMZ for the IP address that the RBR gets from the host router to help avoid double NAT issues, all that's needed.
What is the brand and model# of the host router/modem?
