Can Orbi work with Suddenlinks Hitron Router?

Currently have Suddenlinks Hitron CGN3 Router with Actiontec splitter.  Have TIVO Video box.  Can the Orbi system work with this configuration for better performing wifi?

Installation

    Not sure why it would not.. The Hitron works best in bridge mode (modem only -  these all in one routers typically have poor wireless - cheaper chipsets).

    You can put any router on it and it should work. If, for some reason, you cannot set the Hitron to Bridge mode, you can set up the Orbi to run in Access Point mode. The Hitron would be your DHCP Server. Then you can disable the wireless on the Hitron and use the Orbi exclusively, for wireless
