the WNDR3700 is a just a router. it isn't a modem.
So you should be able to just remove it and install the orbi.
Just check to see what settings the ISP is using for the wndr3700 to connect to their network. Log into the router and look at its internet connections settings and write them down. Then when installing the orbi, use that.
Or you can simply connect the orbi to the wndr3700 and put the orbi in access point mode.
There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
