Only one router

Have 6220 modem-router-wi-fi (wi-fi disabled). Using Orbi system to distribute Wi-fi in house. Is there a way to disable D6220 router and use the more updated Orbi router? Everything updated to late...

       Ok.  Then you should be able to configure the D6220 as a modem-only,
    and configure the PPPoE credentials on the Orbi router (whatever its
    model number might be).

       "up to date" tells me no more than "latest" did.  Any (unfortunate)
    future readers will find it even less helpful.

       Which "documentation"?  When I looked at the D6220 User Manual, I
    (easily) found the section whose heading I quoted above.
